Abstract
In one embodiment a semiconductor package includes a metal lid configured as a shield that effectively surrounds the active circuitry, and thus forms a type of Faraday shield. The lid is electrically coupled to a metalized area located on the surface of the active circuitry, or to an additional metalized die. Appropriate interconnect methods between the lid and the metalized die or metalized area include, but are not restricted to, wire bonding, bumps, tabs, or similar techniques.
