Abstract
A conductive shield on the surface of an integrated circuit package improves the circuit and package performance. The conductive shield in the vicinity of the leads reduces lead inductance, thus increasing the frequency range of the package and reducing switching induced noise in digital circuits. The shield also blocks radio energy from entering or leaving the package through shielded area.
