Abstract

A substrate having at least one electrical component disposed thereon; a plurality of discrete electrically conductive fastening units disposed in a pattern on the substrate surrounding the at least one electrical component; a board-level electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield comprising an electrically conductive layer; a plurality of apertures formed in the board-level EMI shield such that the apertures correspond to the pattern of the electrically conductive fastening units; with at least one thermally conductive interface (TCI) material disposed over the at least one electrical component; and wherein the electrically conductive layer of the board-level EMI shield is in electrical contact with at least one electrically conductive fastening unit.
