In our ever-connected world, the demand for efficient Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding has never been greater. As technology continues its rapid advancement, from smartphones to autonomous vehicles, the need to protect electronic circuits from electromagnetic interference has become paramount. Join us in this exploration of “Trends and Innovations in EMI Shielding” as we delve into the cutting-edge developments reshaping this essential aspect of modern electronics.
EMI Shielding:
A Crucial Component in Modern Electronics
EMI shielding is an essential attribute of many modern electronic circuits, especially those used for wireless communications. As connected devices continue to proliferate, transitions in how EMI shielding is provided will support the transition to higher communication frequencies and advanced semiconductor packaging. Innovations in EMI shielding are especially applicable for applications where compactness is essential, such as smartphones, smartwatches, and AR/VR headsets, but will also find applications within other consumer electronic devices, vehicles, and telecommunications infrastructure.
The Transition from Board/Enclosure Level Shielding to Package Level Shielding
One significant trend in EMI shielding is the shift from traditional board or enclosure-level shielding to package-level shielding. Historically, EMI shielding was primarily achieved through metallic enclosures or specialized circuit board materials. However, as electronics become smaller and more integrated, these conventional methods no longer suffice. Today, engineers are exploring innovative ways to incorporate EMI shielding directly into semiconductor packaging.
Emerging Deposition Methods and Materials
To meet the demands of compact electronic devices, new deposition methods and materials are gaining prominence. Emerging techniques such as spraying and inkjet printing are revolutionizing how EMI shielding materials are applied. These methods offer precise control and the ability to deposit shielding materials directly onto sensitive components.
In parallel, novel materials are making their mark in the realm of EMI shielding. Particle-free conductive inks, composed of conductive polymers or nanomaterials, are on the rise. These inks offer not only excellent shielding performance but also flexibility in design, enabling engineers to create intricate shielding patterns. Additionally, MXenes, a class of 2D materials, show great promise for EMI shielding due to their exceptional electrical conductivity and lightweight properties.
