Electronic modules having grounded electromagnetic shields
First Claim
1. An electronic module comprising:
- a first substrate having a first component area, wherein one or more electronic components are mounted on the first component area;
a second substrate having a second component area, wherein one or more electronic components are mounted on the second component area and the second substrate is mounted over the first substrate such that the second component area faces the first component area;
an overmold that fills a gap between the first component area and the second component area so as to cover the one or more electronic components on the first component area and the one or more electronic components on the second component area; and
a support structure that extends through the overmold and comprises;
a first support member that extends from the first component area towards the second component area; and
a second support member that extends from the second component area towards the first component area, wherein the first support member is attached to the second support member to provide structural support that mounts the second substrate over the first substrate.

Abstract
The present disclosure is related to electronic modules for electronic components and methods for manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, an electronic module is formed using a first substrate having a first component area and a second substrate having a second component area. One or more electronic components may be attached to both the first component area and the second component area. The second substrate is mounted over the first substrate such that the second component area faces the first component area. An overmold covers the first component area and the second component area so as to cover the electronic components on both the first component area and the second component area. In this manner, the number of electronic components within the electronic module that can be mounted on an area of a printed circuit board (PCB) is increased.
