Abstract
A shielding apparatus useful in the attenuation of electronic noise or spurious electric signals is disclosed. In one embodiment, the shielding apparatus is encapsulated with an electronic component such as an integrated circuit. At least parts of the apparatus are formed using a selective metal deposition process (e.g., electroforming) that increases manufacturing efficiency and provides enhanced mechanical and structural features, as well as reduced cost. In another embodiment, the shielding apparatus comprises an array. Methods of manufacturing and utilizing the shielding apparatus are also disclosed.
