The invention discloses a method for making two sided Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) that will allow most commercially available integrated circuits to meet the thermal and radiation hazards of the spacecraft environment using integrated package shielding technology. The invention describes the technology and methodology to manufacture MCMs that are radiation-hardened, structurally and thermally stable using 3-dimensional techniques allowing for high density integrated circuit packaging in a radiation hardened package.

A radiation shielded module (120, 500, 600, 700) and method of shielding microelectronic devices (126, 412, 618, and 718) including a single interconnect substrate (110, 400, 612, 712) having a first side (122, 410, 620, 720) and a second side (124, 416, 610, 710). At least one microelectronic device is coupled to the first side of the single interconnect substrate. A shielding structure (100, 200, 300, 614, 714) is coupled to the single interconnect substrate and configured to shield radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) that propagate through at least a portion of the single interconnect substrate.
