Definitions
- the field of the invention is that of radiocommunication systems with mobiles.
- the invention applies in particular, but not exclusively, in radiocommunication systems of the GSM 900 (for "Global System for Mobile - 900 MHz"), DCS 1800 (for "Digital Cellular System - 1800 MHz”), PCS 1900 type. (for "Personal Communication System - 1900 MHz”) or UMTS (for "Universal Mobile Telecommunication System - 2 GHz”). More specifically, the invention relates to a method of shielding at least the upper part of a radiocommunication module intended to be mounted in radiocommunication equipment (radiotelephone, and more generally any apparatus or device implementing radiocommunications).
- radiocommunication module a subscriber to a radiocommunication system, for example of the GSM type, has a mobile station (sometimes also called mobile radiotelephone or mobile telephone) comprising a radiocommunication terminal (or ME, for "Mobile Equipment” in English) generally cooperating with a SIM card (for "Subscriber Identity Module” in English, or subscriber identification module).
- a mobile station sometimes also called mobile radiotelephone or mobile telephone
- ME radiocommunication terminal
- SIM card for "Subscriber Identity Module” in English, or subscriber identification module
- the radiocommunication module (for example a "GSM module") is included in the radiocommunication terminal and provides the wireless communication function, by controlling various hardware elements (screen, keyboard, loudspeaker, ...) of the radiocommunication terminal.
- GSM module for example a "GSM module”
- Other applications of the radiocommunication module are also known.
- radiocommunication module in independent form, with in particular its own power supply: it is then qualified as a modem.
- modem which does not include any hardware (screen, keyboard, speaker, etc.) of man / machine interface, is intended to cooperate with third-party equipment (typically a microcomputer), which has it human / machine interface hardware.
- the radiocommunication module in a radiocommunication terminal, in another device, or even in a modem, it conventionally comprises a printed circuit, on which components are soldered, a structure of shield and a mechanical connector allowing the interconnection of the module with other elements, such as a motherboard.
- the components soldered to the printed circuit can in particular perform digital processing, analog processing, and / or radio frequency processing functions.
- the shielding structure allows electromagnetically shielding (shielding
- the radio communication module It is conventionally made up of two belts, disposed respectively on each of the faces of the printed circuit, and of two covers which can each be clipped onto one of the two belts, on each of the ' faces of the module.
- the shielding of each of the upper and lower parts of the module conventionally requires a belt and a cover, clipped onto one another.
- other shielding structures can be used to achieve the function.
- One possibility may be to use parallelepipedic covers directly welded to the card, making it possible to separate each of the electromagnetically sensitive functions.
- the belt structure plus conventional hood has several drawbacks which go against the current concerns of manufacturers.
- This conventional structure is expensive and its assembly is not easy, because it consists of an assembly of four separate parts. In addition, it generally does not offer a good seal, especially in air and dust.
- the invention particularly aims to overcome these various drawbacks of the state of the art.
- one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a method of shielding at least the upper part of a radiocommunication module, this method making it possible to reduce the size of the module.
- the invention also aims to provide such a method making it possible to greatly reduce the cost of shielding.
- a method of shielding at least the upper part of a radiocommunication module said module being intended to be transferred to a motherboard and comprising components mounted on a printed circuit and ensuring at least one of the following functions: RF processing, digital processing and analog processing.
- said method comprises the following steps: coating at least the upper part of said radio communication module with a resin, and adding an electrically conductive layer to the surface of said resin.
- the general principle of the invention therefore consists in replacing, at least in the upper part of the module, the belt and the associated cover with a resin covered with an electrically conductive layer (for example a metallized film).
- the resin coating gives the module a good seal, and contributes to preserving the confidentiality of the implementation and of the choice of components on the printed circuit. It is important to note that if the use of this shielding technique was known for a silicon chip, it was not at all obvious for those skilled in the art to use it for a complete radiocommunication module. Indeed, his prejudices always led him to believe that the presence within a module of a plurality of components, ensuring various functions and in particular an RF function, made it impossible to coat the module in a resin.
- said radiocommunication module is included in a device belonging to the group comprising: radiocommunication terminals, devices, other than radiocommunication terminals, requiring wireless communication functionality, modems, etc.
- said resin is of the type supporting a reflow, so that the resin coating can be carried out before the transfer of the module, by reflow, on the motherboard.
- said resin is of the type modifying in a predetermined and limited manner the permeability and the permittivity of the medium surrounding the RF parts of the module.
- the radio function of the module strongly depends on the electromagnetic interaction of the components between them. These interactions are known when these components are separated by air, with a permittivity ( ⁇ r ) and a relative permeability ( ⁇ r ) equal to unity.
- the components of the coated module are immersed in a medium, the resin, the characteristics of which with respect to the propagation of electromagnetic waves are different from those of air (in particular ⁇ r > 1).
- the design of the printed circuit, as well as the positions and connections of the components between them, must take account of these interactions.
- the parasitic coupling phenomena, of the capacitive type in particular, are important.
- the capacity (C) is proportional to the medium ( ⁇ r ) and inversely proportional to the distance (d). It therefore increases if the distance between two pins is shorter.
- Capacities increase RF mismatch as well as frequency limitations (CR).
- said resin is a casting resin.
- the casting resins offer the advantage of being able to be implemented easily, during assembly of the module. On the contrary, transfer resins require high temperature heating and pressure injection which would deteriorate the components and the module.
- said resin is a resin from the epoxy family.
- epoxy resins are synthetic polymer materials widely used as a plastic structure in electronic components. They are characterized by their low shrinkage during their polymerization, their good adhesion, and their good mechanical and chemical resistance.
- said resin is loaded.
- the filler can be silica.
- the choice of the total load must be made with care. Indeed, the more the resin is loaded with silica, the more its relative permittivity increases, which distances it from the characteristics of the air. On the other hand, the less it is loaded with silica, the less the mechanical characteristics of the polymerized resin are satisfactory, due to a reduction in hardness.
- said resin is charged with microbeads of air. This brings us closer to the characteristics of the air.
- At least one injection syringe and at least one mold are used during said step of coating the radiocommunication module with the resin.
- said step of adding a conductive layer consists in depositing a graphite carbon film on the surface of the resin. Carbon graphite increases the hardness of the surface. In addition, it allows the module to be given a black exterior color directly, without any additional painting operation.
- said step of adding a conductive layer is carried out by a vacuum deposition technique. It is clear however that the present invention is not limited to this particular metallization technique.
- said module comprises a set of conductive elements, distributed on the underside of said printed circuit, and produced so that said set of conductive elements constitutes both: shielding means electromagnetic of the underside of said printed circuit; electrical interconnection means, ensuring the passage of electrical signals to and / or from said motherboard; and means for transferring said radio communication module to said motherboard; so that said radiocommunication module forms an electronic macro-component.
- the present invention is compatible with a completely new and inventive approach to the design of the radiocommunication module in the form of a macro-component.
- the invention also relates to a radiocommunication module, of the type intended to be transferred to a motherboard and comprising components mounted on a printed circuit and ensuring at least one of the following functions: RF processing, digital processing and analog processing.
- at least the upper part of said radiocommunication module is coated with a resin covered on the surface by a conductive layer.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a particular embodiment of a radiocommunication module according to the present invention
- Figure 2 shows the module of Figure 1, after transfer to a motherboard
- FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the step of coating the module with a resin.
- the invention therefore relates to a method of shielding at least the upper part of a radiocommunication module.
- the radiocommunication module 1 that is to say in particular the printed circuit and the various components soldered thereto
- the radiocommunication module 1 is coated with a resin, which is covered on the surface with an electric layer.
- conductive for example a metallized film
- the shield relates only to the upper part 2 of the module 1.
- the conductive layer or structure (for example a metallization) on the surface of the resin provides the electromagnetic shielding of the (upper) face coated with the screw module. to the outside. This involves making a Faraday cage around this face, by connecting this conductive surface to a ground plane covering the surface of the printed circuit.
- module 1 is in the form of a macro-component.
- module 1 includes a set of conductive elements 3 performing the following three functionalities: electromagnetic shielding of the lower part of the module, electrical interconnection and transfer to a motherboard.
- conductive elements 3 performing the following three functionalities: electromagnetic shielding of the lower part of the module, electrical interconnection and transfer to a motherboard.
- the module 1 is transferred to a motherboard 5 via an interposition structure 4 with columns.
- the resin is chosen so that this transfer can be carried out by reflow, with CMS type welds
- the criteria for selecting the resin are for example the following: high fluidity (very low viscosity, ⁇ 5000 cps at 25 ° C); - lowest temperature and polymerization time (T ⁇ 150 ° C); low polymerization shrinkage ( ⁇ 0.7%); and once polymerized: permittivity and permeability closest to unity; low loss coefficient (tg ⁇ ⁇ 5 x 10 '2 at 1 GHz); high hardness (Shore D hardness>70); - high impermeability (water absorption ⁇ 0.25%); low coefficient of expansion ( ⁇ ⁇ 10 "6 M / ° C); good thermal conductivity; low ionic conductivity; good adhesion power; - low density; black color; possibility of being metallized; etc.
- the resin is for example a casting resin of the epoxy family, correctly loaded.
- the resin is for example that referenced FP4450 from the supplier DEXTER HYSOL.
- this is for example the resin referenced MNB 124-28 from the same supplier.
- the step of coating the module with a casting resin can be carried out with injection syringes 30, which contain the freshly prepared resin, and a mold 31, having a shape complementary to that of a blank of modules 32.
- the mold therefore has a cavity 34 to be filled with resin, as well as vents 35 for casting.
- FIG. 3 presents a top view of an example of blank 32 of nine modules 33. It is recalled that the blank of module is the format used for the assembly in SMD of the components 36 on the printed circuit 37.
- the material used for surface metallization is for example carbon (C) graphite.
- the thickness of the carbon layer is chosen so as to ensure sufficient radio attenuation.
- the criteria for selecting this material are for example the following: low electrical resistivity (that is to say high electrical conductivity); black color.
- This metallization is for example carried out by carbon vacuum deposition, by heating a graphite filament with a high current intensity, in order to atomize atoms on the surface of the resin coating.
