A lateral portion of the underfill material can comprises a lateral surface extending away from the substrate and a meniscus surface extending between the lateral surface and the electronic component.

An integrated shield electronic component package includes a substrate having an upper surface, a lower surface, and sides extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. An electronic component is mounted to the upper surface of the substrate. An integrated shield is mounted to the upper surface of the substrate and includes a side shielding portion directly adjacent to and covering the sides of the substrate. The integrated shield covers and provides an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for the electronic component, the upper surface and sides of substrate. Further, the integrated shield is integrated within the integrated shield electronic package. Thus, separate operations of mounting an electronic component package and then mounting a shield are avoided thus simplifying manufacturing and reducing overall assembly costs.
