Definitions
- This invention pertains to shielding apparatus for containing high frequency electromagnetic radiation within a personal computer, cellular telephone, or other electronic instrument.
- Electromagnetic compatibility is a broad term used to describe electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency interference (RFI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD), and the above terms are often used interchangeably.
- EMI electromagnetic interference
- RFID radio frequency interference
- ESD electrostatic discharge
- Electronic devices are both sources and receptors of EMI which creates a twofold problem. Since electromagnetic radiation penetrating the device may cause electronic failure, manufacturers need to protect the operational integrity of their products. Secondly, manufacturers must comply with the regulations aimed at reducing electromagnetic radiation emitted into the atmosphere. Proper design is necessary to prevent the device's function from being disrupted by emissions from external sources and to minimize its system's emissions.
- the use of plastic as a housing material for electronic equipment has contributed to problems with EMI shielding because EMI waves pass freely through unshielded plastic without substantial impedance or resistance. The increasing clock speeds of microprocessors used in computing devices makes it more difficult to handle the EMI emission faster computers generate.
- a slipped tool used during assembly or a repair can cause a scratch in the metal coating of sufficient size to cause a slot antenna, thereby making the case totally useless, and thereby leading to a costly item being discarded with little feasibility for successful recycling.
- the seams of a metal plated plastic housing will act like slot antennae unless the housing sections are conductively joined by the use of overlapping joints, conductive gaskets, or conductive tape. When the housing must be opened for a repair or retrofit, it can be understood that some of the conductive interconnection may be degraded by the activity of disassembly.
- the present invention provides a novel EMI Containment System for use in electronic equipment enclosures.
- the present invention generally provides a containment form composed of a thermoform having a metallized layer which can block the penetration (e.g. emission and reception) of EMI/RFI radiation.
- a housing of the electronic device can urge the containment form against a ground trace on a circuit board to ground the containment form.
- the present invention provides a multi- compartmented plastic form, preferably made of thermo formed plastic sheet (e.g., a sheet or film material which has been heated and drawn by air pressure into a mold or onto a die), is coated with a conductive metal coating.
- the metal coating may be applied by painting or preferably by vacuum metallization as described in U.S. Patent 5,811,050 to Gabower.
- the resulting metallized form has a metal coating covering its surface to a thickness of at least one micron and the wall thickness of the plastic form is quite small, in the range of .003 inches to .020 inches, resulting in an inexpensive, nestable multi-compartment EMI shield for placement over elements mounted on a circuit board which emit electromagnetic radiation.
- the compartments of the form are arranged such that the form will conform to the inside shape of a housing for an electronic equipment such as a cellular phone, computer, or other device which internally generates EMI or which is susceptible to degradation if exposed to RFI from outside the device.
- the form is constructed with a laterally extending peripheral lip and with hollow walls which separate the compartments and which fit over interior ribs formed within the enclosure to which the shape of the form conforms.
- Non-conductive elastomeric gasket material which may be applied as a liquid is inserted between the tops of the ribs and outer sidewall of the housing and under the hollow ribs and the peripheral lip of the form, thereby providing a cushion between the form and the housing.
- a circuit board containing the EMI emitting elements is placed against the form such that the EMI emitting elements are received within the compartments.
- the circuit board is provided with a conductive ground trace on its surface facing the form, the ground trace circumscribing a path which coincides with the hollow ribs and peripheral lip of the form.
- Contact between the metallized form and the ground trace of the circuit board serves to enclose the EMI emitters within a grounded enclosure to contain the EMI within the unit and isolated from other elements within the unit.
- the gasket forces the lip and hollow walls of the form into contact with the ground trace of the circuit board.
- the lip and hollow walls of the form may alternatively be formed with closely spacei dimples, puncture protrusions, or extending tabs, which are coated with metal and extend from the form to increase contact between the form and the ground trace of the circuit board, the spacing of the gap-filling dimples, puncture protrusions or extending tabs being selected to prevent spaces between them from acting as slot antennae.
- the elastomeric gasket may be omitted when the alternate embodiment form is used.
- the present invention provides a method of shielding EMI/RFI radiation in an electronic device. The method comprises coupling a containment form to a printed circuit board. The containment form is grounded to a ground trace.
- the containment form is compressed against the ground trace by contacting a portion of a housing of the electronic device against the containment form.
- the present invention provides a system for shielding EMI/RFI radiation.
- the system includes a housing and a circuit board positioned within the housing.
- the circuit board has a ground trace.
- the system also has a containment form having a lip which extends around a periphery of the containment form.
- a vacuum metallized layer is attached to the containment form such that the vacuum metallized layer is capable of shielding EMI/RFI radiation.
- the containment form is positioned in the housing so that the housing urges the containment form into contact with the ground trace so as to shield the circuit board from the EMI/RFI radiation.

- an electronic enclosure assembly 20 of a cellular phone is a typical clamshell enclosure design and is shown in the assembled configuration, as it would be used.
- Figure 2 shows an exploded view of electronic enclosure assembly 20 including a bottom enclosure housing 10 and a top enclosure housing 12.
- Bottom enclosure housing 10 contains a network of ribs 11, and a plurality of screw bosses 14.
- Electronic enclosure assembly 20 is fastened together with a plurality of screws 18, and a plurality of screw bosses 14. This fastening method is well known in the art of electronic enclosure design and the details have been omitted so that the focus may be on the present invention.
- Electronic enclosure assembly 20 also includes an EMI/RFI containment form assembly 24, comprised of an EMI/RFI containment form 21 coated with a conductive coating 22, preferably aluminum applied by vacuum metallization techniques, a printed circuit board 32, a plurality of electronic components 36, and a liquid crystal display 44.
- printed circuit board 32 is populated by a plurality of electronic components 36 electrically connected to it, and also has an internal ground plane 50 and an EMI/RFI ground trace 46 that is plated and exposed, on its surface facing the form 21.
- the shape of EMI/RFI ground trace 46 typically corresponds exactly to the shape of the top surface of EMI/RFI containment form 21, the shape of which in turn corresponds exactly to the shape of ribs 11.
- EMI/RFI containment form assembly 24 comprises an EMI/RFI containment form 21, a conductive coating 22 on EMI/RFI containment form 21, and a gap-filling gasket 25.
- EMI/RFI containment form 21 is constructed out of either polyester or impact modified syndiocratic polystyrene thin film sheet, with a thickness of 0.003 inches to 0.020 inches depending on application requirements.
- EMI/RFI containment form 21 is formed into the shape of EMI/RFI containment form 21 by a variety of forming processes that are well known in the industry, such as vacuum forming, pressure forming, vacuum pressure forming, embossing, and injection molding among others.
- the shape of the compartments 23 in EMI/RFI containment form 21 are dictated by the shape of the cavities 13 in bottom enclosure housing 10, that is, EMI/RFI containment form 21 closely fits into the cavities created by ribs 11 in bottom enclosure housing 10.
- Containment form 21 includes a peripheral lip 27 which surrounds compartment 23 and extends laterally from outer sidewalls 29 of containment form 21.
- Compartments 23 are separated by narrow hollow walls 31 which receive ribs 11 of lower housing 10.
- Ribs 11 and outer wall 33 of lower housing 10 define cavities 13.
- Lip 27 of containment form 21 overlies ribs 11 or outer wall 33 of lower housing when containment assembly 24 is assembled.
- Gasket 25 is interposed between ribs 11 and hollow walls 31 and between lip 27 and ribs 11 on outer sidewall 33.
- Conductive coating 22 is applied to EMI/RFI containment form 21 by either a vacuum deposition or conductive painting process that is well known in the art.
- gap-filling gasket 25 consists of NUVA SILTM, a liquid elastomer material product manufactured by Loctite Corporation. Gap-filling gasket 25 material is applied as a liquid within the recesses of hollow walls 31 of EMI/RFI containment form 21, and cures to an elastomeric state.
- gap-filling gasket 25 is of a thickness that is larger than the actual distance between the top of ribs 11 and the corresponding bottom area of EMI/RFI containment form 21. Because gap-filling gasket 25 is a compliant elastomer, ribs 11 compresses gap-filling gasket 25 which in turn forces EMI/RFI containment form 21 firmly against EMI/RFI ground trace 46 on printed circuit board 32.
- This firm, conductive connection between EMI/RFI containment form 21 and EMI/RFI ground trace 46 on the printed circuit board 32 creates the necessary contact resistance for an effective EMI/RFI shielding seam within the given areas to be shielded in the electronic enclosure 20.
- the compliance of gap-filling gasket 25 also acts to fill tolerance gaps or slight misalignments between printed-circuit board 32 and EMI/RFI containment form 21.
- Gap-filling punctures 28 are created by a die-cutting process whereby a die with a plurality of discrete blades punctures through the top surface of lip 27 and hollow walls 31 of EMI/RFI containment form 21.
- the die is in the exact shape of the top-most surface of EMI/RFI containment form 21.
- the blades puncture the polyester material, they deform the material around the puncture slightly up and away from the top surface.
- Gap-filling punctures 28 are formed into EMI/RFI containment form 21 before conductive coating 22 is applied. When assembled as described above, gap-filling punctures are forced compliantly against EMI/RFI ground trace 46 by ribs 11 and outer wall 33.
- gap-filling punctures 28 are covered with conductive coating 22, a continuous, conductive shield is maintained that prohibits the EMI/RFI that is radiated by electronic components 36 from propagating outside of electronic enclosure assembly 24.
- the spacing between punctures 28 is chosen to be less than one-half wavelength of the EMI radiation anticipated in order to prevent leaking of EMI.
- Figure 8 discloses a close up view of a portion of lip 27 which has been modified with gap-filling bent tabs 52 creating upstanding flaps closely and evenly spaced apart on lip 27 with the spaces between neighboring gap-filling bent tabs 52 being less than one-half wavelength of the frequency to be contained.
- gap-filling bent tabs 52 may also be formed in hollow walls 31 of form 21. The gap-filling bent tabs 52 are forced against ground trace 46 by ribs 11 and outer wall 33 of housing 10 when form 21 and circuit board 32 are mounted in housing 10.
- Gap-filling dimples 60 may be used in place of gap-filling gasket 25.
- Gap-filling dimples 60 are created by a forming process whereby small semi-circles are formed along the top surface of EMI/RFI containment form 21. Gap-filling dimples 60 protrude in the direction of printed circuit board 32. Gap-filling dimples 60 are formed into EMI/RFI containment form 21 before conductive coating 22 is applied.
- gap-filling dimples 60 are forced compliantly against EMI/RFI ground trace 46 by ribs 11. Since gap-filling dimples are covered with conductive coating 22, a continuous, conductive shield is maintained that prohibits the EMI/RFI that is radiated by electronic components 36 from propagating outside of electronic enclosure assembly 24.
- EMI/RFI containment form 21 could be manufactured out of a variety of different plastics.
- Gap-filling gasket 25 could be constructed out of a variety of different compliant materials.
- gap-filling gasket 25 could be die-cut out of elastomeric sheet material.
- Other molded-in gap-filling features could be included other than gap-filling dimples 60.
- gap-filling bent tabs 52 could be molded and die-cut into EMI/RFI containment form 21, as shown in Figure 8.
- this invention could also be used for RFI shielding such as may be required in radios, portable computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), or other devices that must be prevented from emitting EMI.
- RFI shielding such as may be required in radios, portable computers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), or other devices that must be prevented from emitting EMI.
