Abstract
A shielding apparatus for use with a non-conductive package has an insulated lid (102) which is retained in contact with a substrate (104) for holding an electrical circuit. The shielding apparatus includes a first conductive flash (201) deposited on the interior surface of the insulated lid (102), to produce a substantially contiguous conduction layer, and a second conductive flash (203) deposited over a film (110) disposed on the edge of the insulated lid (102), to produce a partially contiguous conduction layer. The shielding apparatus also includes a layer (108) for affixing the insulated lid (102) to the substrate (104), to produce an enclosure for isolating the electrical circuit from extraneous radio frequency (RF) energy.
