Conformal shielding process using flush structures

A method of manufacturing a module comprising:

• providing an electronic meta-module comprising a substrate, a plurality of component areas on a surface of the substrate for a plurality of modules, a plurality of exposed metallic structures, wherein certain component areas of the plurality of component areas are associated with the exposed metallic structures, and a plurality of continuous metal traces on the surface of the substrate, wherein each of the continuous metal traces substantially extends about a periphery of one of the certain component areas that are associated with the exposed metallic structures, and a bottom surface of each of the plurality of exposed metallic structures is located above a portion of one of the plurality of continuous metal traces;
• forming a body of a dielectric material that covers the plurality of component areas, wherein a top surface of each of the exposed metallic structures is substantially flush with a top portion of an exterior surface of the body;
• and
• applying an electromagnetic shield material over at least portions of the exterior surface of the body for each of the certain component areas and on the top surface of each of the exposed metallic structures to form electromagnetic shields over the certain component areas, and wherein the exposed metallic structures provide a conductive path between the electromagnetic shields and the plurality of continuous metal traces on the surface of the substrate.
