Mode for the Invention [18] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The RFPCB comprises first and second rigid boards 240 and 260 formed at both sides thereof, a flexible board 220 for connecting the first and second rigid boards 240 and 260 to each other, and metal thin film layers 250 coated on top and bottom surfaces of the flexible board 220 through a sputtering device. [20] The metal thin film layers formed on the top and bottom surfaces of the flexible board 220 should be formed to slightly overlap ground regions of a circuit which are plated with metal such as gold or copper and exposed on the first and second rigid boards 240 and 260. [21] Since the sputtering device is well known in the art, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted herein. [22] Figs. 3 and 4 are longitudinal sectional and cross-sectional views of the rigid flexible printed circuit board according to the present invention, respectively. The flexible circuit 220 is configured in such a manner that copper foils 222a and 222b
patterned into a predetermined conductive circuit are formed respectively on top and bottom surfaces of a polyimide layer 221 made of an insulation film; coverlays 223a and 223b made of an insulation film for protecting a surface circuit of the flexible board 220 are formed respectively on top and bottom surfaces of the copper foils 222a and 222b throughout the entire printed circuit board; prepregs are formed respectively on top and bottom surfaces of the coverlays 223 a and 223b to form the first and second rigid boards 240 and 260; and one or more circuit layers 243 are formed respectively on top and bottom surfaces of the prepregs 242a and 242b, and the metal thin film layers 250 are then coated on the top and bottom surfaces of the coverlays 223a and 223b made of the insulation film in the flexible board 220 through a sputtering device.
[23] At this time, each of the metal thin film layers 250 formed on the surface of the flexible board 220 should be formed to slightly overlap ground regions of a circuit which are either plated with metal such as gold or copper or electrically connected and are exposed on the first and second rigid boards 240 and 260.
[24] Further, Figs. 5 and 6 are longitudinal sectional and cross-sectional views showing a rigid flexible printed circuit board with a multilayer metal thin film formed on a flexible board thereof according to the present invention. Multilayer metal thin film layers 250 are formed on top and bottom surfaces of coverlays 223a and 223b made of an insulation film in a flexible board 220. At this time, each of the metal thin film layers 250 formed on the surface of the flexible board 220 should be formed to slightly overlap ground regions of a circuit which are either plated with metal such as gold or copper or electrically connected and are exposed on the first and second rigid boards 240 and 260.
[25] Meanwhile, a rigid flexible printed circuit board (RFPCB) refers to a board in which a rigid board (MLB) and a flexible board (FPCB) are structurally coupled with each other such that a rigid portion and a flexible portion can be connected to each other without an additional connector. The RFPCB can solve a component space problem, secure connection reliability in a connector portion and improve a component mounting characteristic since such a connector is not utilized in this RFPCB.
[26] Further, a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) has been developed to cope with the tendency that electronic products are miniaturized and complicated. The FPCB has superior thermal, bending and chemical resistances and a small change in size.
[27] The aforementioned flexible printed circuit board is classified into a single-face structure, a double-face structure, a multi-face structure and a double-face exposure structure. The flexible printed circuit board is used for signal connection to a place where continuous repetition movement of a bent portion is required and functions as an interface. The flexible printed circuit board comprises polyimides, coverlays and adhesives, and is mainly utilized in cellular phones, LCD/OLED/PDP modules, camera
batteries, HDDs and printers.
[28] As shown in Fig. 7, a second embodiment of the present invention is configured in such a manner that connectors 109 are formed on the top and bottom of a board 110 formed with an insulation film on a surface thereof and a chip 107 is formed at a central portion of the board 110. A metal thin film layer 250 is coated on a surface of the board 110 except where the chip 107 and connectors 109 are formed, so that electromagnetic waves and static electricity can be screened.
[29] At this time, the metal thin film layer 250 formed on the surface of the board 110 should be formed to slightly overlap a ground region of a circuit, which is either plated with metal such as gold or copper or electrically connected and is exposed on the circuit.
[30] Further, as shown in Fig. 8, metal thin film layers 250 are coated on front and rear surfaces of a flexible board (FPCB or RFPCB) 220 formed with an insulation film on a surface thereof such that electromagnetic waves and static electricity can be screened.
[31] Each of the metal thin film layers 250 formed on the surface of the flexible board
220 should be formed to slightly overlap a ground region of a circuit, which is either plated with metal such as gold or copper or electrically connected and is exposed on the circuit.
[32] Characteristics of a structure for screening electromagnetic waves and static electricity at a circuit according to the present invention have been tested as follows.
[33] A gold layer 250 was formed on gold-plated circuit ground regions of first and second rigid boards 240 and 260 and a surface of a flexible board 220 of the FPCB for use in mobile devices at a thickness of 150 nm such that it overlap the surface of the flexible board 220 and the ground regions of the rigid boards 240 and 260 by 0.3 mm. As a result, it has been measured that real characteristics of EMI and ESD was improved.
[34] At this time, the ESD characteristics have been measured in a state where electric impact with an intensity of 5 to 15 kV is applied in a contact or non-contact mode using an electronic gun, and the EMI characteristics have been measured by measuring a radiation value of the structure mounted into a finished cellular phone.
[35] Table 1 illustrates measurement results of ESD and EMI before and after the present invention is applied.
[36] Table 1
[37] Meanwhile, in order to effectively screen electromagnetic waves and static electricity, portions coated on the surface of an insulation film or board and the circuit grounds may be formed on a top surface, a bottom surface, top/bottom surfaces, top/ bottom/left/right surfaces or the like according to the characteristics of printed circuit boards and semiconductor packages.
[38] In the accompanying drawings, the thicknesses of layers and regions are exaggerated for easy understanding of the present invention.
[39] The foregoing is merely an exemplary embodiment of a structure for screening electromagnetic waves and static electricity on a circuit according to the present invention. Thus, the present invention is not limited thereto. Although the present invention has been described in detail in connection with the preferred embodiments, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made thereto within the technical spirit and scope of the present invention. It is also apparent that the modifications and changes fall within the scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims.
