Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electronic device module includes an electronic unit, a sealing layer covering the electronic unit and containing organic molecules, a shield layer covering the sealing layer and containing inorganic elements on an inner surface thereof, and a bonding layer formed between the sealing layer and the shield layer, and containing molecules that are chemically bonded with the organic molecules of the sealing layer and the inorganic elements of the shield layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An electronic device module, comprising: an electronic unit; a sealing layer covering the electronic unit and containing organic molecules; a shield layer covering the sealing layer and containing inorganic elements on an inner surface thereof; and a bonding layer formed between the sealing layer and the shield layer, and containing molecules that are chemically bonded with the organic molecules of the sealing layer and the inorganic elements of the shield layer. 2 . The electronic device module according to claim 1 , wherein the shield layer contains catalyst elements for metal plating as the inorganic elements. 3 . The electronic device module according to claim 2 , wherein the catalyst elements include at least one of palladium, iron, nickel, and platinum. 4 . The electronic device module according to claim 2 , wherein the shield layer includes metal elements that are chemically bonded with the catalyst elements. 5 . The electronic device module according to claim 4 , wherein the metal elements include copper. 6 . The electronic device module according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing layer includes a top surface and side surfaces, and the bonding layer is formed on the top surface and the side surfaces of the sealing layer. 7 . The electronic device module according to claim 1 , wherein an electronic unit is configured to radiate an electromagnetic wave, and the shield layer shields the electromagnetic wave radiated from the electronic unit. 8 . A method for manufacturing an electronic device module, comprising: preparing a structure including an electronic unit and a sealing layer covering the electronic unit and containing organic molecules; applying a bonding material on the sealing layer, the bonding material containing molecules that are chemically bondable with the organic molecules of the sealing layer; and forming a shield layer on the bonding material, the shield layer containing inorganic elements on an inner surface thereof that are chemically bonded with the molecules of the bonding material. 9 . The method according to claim 8 , further comprising: prior to applying the bonding material, forming hydroxyl groups on the outer surface of the sealing layer. 10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein a dithiol triazine group is generated when the molecules of the bonding material are chemically bonded with the organic molecules of the sealing layer. 11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein forming the shield layer includes forming, on the bonding material, catalyst elements for metal plating that are chemically bondable with the molecules of the bonding material, as the inorganic elements, and forming, on the catalyst elements, metal elements that are chemically bondable with the catalyst elements. 12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the catalyst elements include at least one of palladium, iron, nickel, and platinum. 13 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the metal elements include copper. 14 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein the metal elements are formed by an electroless plating using the catalyst elements. 15 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the sealing layer includes a top surface and side surfaces, and the bonding layer is formed on the top surface and the side surfaces of the sealing layer. 16 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic unit is configured to radiate an electromagnetic wave, and the shield layer shields the electromagnetic wave radiated from the electronic unit. 17 . A method for shielding an electromagnetic wave radiated from an electronic unit, comprising: covering an electronic unit with a sealing layer containing organic molecules; applying a bonding material on the sealing layer, the bonding material containing molecules that are chemically bondable with the organic molecules of the sealing layer; and forming a shield layer on the bonding material, the shield layer containing inorganic elements on an inner surface thereof that are chemically bonded with the molecules of the bonding material. 18 . The method according to claim 17 , further comprising: prior to applying the bonding material, forming hydroxyl groups on the outer surface of the sealing layer. 19 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the forming of the shield layer includes forming, on the bonding material, catalyst elements for metal plating that are chemically bondable with the molecules of the bonding material, as the inorganic elements, and forming, on the catalyst elements, metal elements that are chemically bondable with the catalyst elements. 20 . The method according to claim 19 , wherein the metal elements are formed by an electroless plating using the catalyst elements.
