A shielded system for reducing energy dissipation from a radio frequency (RF) component into a semiconductor substrate, the shielded system comprising:
- a semiconductor substrate;
- an RF component coupled to the semiconductor substrate;
- an electrically connected shielding structure having a galvanic connection to ground or the semiconductor substrate, the electrically connected shielding structure being electrically connected to the RF component;
- and
- an electrically isolated shielding structure having no galvanic connection to ground, the semiconductor substrate or the RF component, wherein the electrically isolated shielding structure comprises a plurality of isolated conductive elements that are not galvanically connected.
