Electronic Circuit Package Composite Shielding Structure

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electronic circuit packages face challenges in achieving high composite shielding effects due to insufficient electromagnetic and magnetic shielding, particularly in miniaturized devices where noise and radio disturbances are prevalent, and existing solutions like metal casings and two-layered structures fail to provide adequate shielding without increasing height or compromising performance.

Innovation Solution

An electronic circuit package design incorporating a substrate with a power supply pattern, a magnetic mold resin made of composite magnetic material, and a laminated film composed of a metal film and a magnetic film with higher effective permeability, where the metal film is connected to the power supply pattern and the magnetic film has double or more effective permeability than the resin, enhancing shielding effects.

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding function is segmented into multiple layers: a magnetic mold resin layer embedded in the substrate, and a laminated film layer on the top surface. This segmentation allows shielding without requiring a complete metal casing, thus reducing device height while maintaining electromagnetic shielding effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses composite materials including magnetic mold resin containing magnetic fillers and a laminated film with both metal and magnetic layers. This composite structure provides effective electromagnetic and magnetic shielding without requiring a solid metal casing, thereby reducing device height while improving shielding performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If a two-layered structure of magnetic mold resin and metal casing is used, then some shielding is achieved, but sufficient electromagnetic and magnetic shielding performance cannot be obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention employs a composite laminated film structure with at least a metal layer and a magnetic layer, where the magnetic layer has higher effective permeability than the magnetic mold resin. This composite multi-layer structure provides both electromagnetic shielding (metal layer) and magnetic shielding (magnetic layer), achieving sufficient shielding performance without excessive structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding structure is optimized with local quality differentiation: the magnetic mold resin is embedded in the substrate where magnetic shielding is needed, while the laminated film with metal and magnetic layers is applied on the top surface for combined electromagnetic and magnetic shielding. This localized optimization achieves sufficient shielding performance with reduced overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 1:

The invention transitions from a three-dimensional metal casing structure to a two-dimensional laminated film structure on the substrate surface. This dimensional change allows the shielding function to be integrated into the circuit board plane, enabling component mounting access without creating holes that would compromise shielding, as the ground patterns remain continuously connected on the substrate.
