Abstract
A method of packaging a device is disclosed. In one embodiment, a substrate including a common voltage plane and a mounting region is provided, with the device mounted to the mounting region. An electrically conductive dam structure is disposed on the surface of the substrate with the electrically conductive dam structure being electrically coupled to the common voltage plane and circumscribing a perimeter of the mounting region. An electrically insulating encapsulant at least partially fills a pocket defined by the substrate and the electrically conductive dam structure, the electrically insulating encapsulant contacting the electrically conductive dam structure. An electrically conductive encapsulant is provided that overlies the electrically insulating encapsulant, the electrically conductive encapsulant being coupled to the electrically conductive dam structure.
