## Abstract

An integrated device package is disclosed. The integrated device package can include a carrier, an electronic component mounted on the carrier, a molding material disposed over the carrier, and an electromagnetic interference shield layer disposed over the molding material. The electronic component is at least partially disposed in the molding material. At least a portion of the shield layer is in contact with the electronic component. The electromagnetic interference shield layer is configured to shield the electronic component from a radio frequency signal. A surface of the electromagnetic interference shield layer includes an ink mark or a laser mark.
