摘要:
A smart card module includes a semiconductor chip that is electrically conductively connected to a metallic lead frame in which contact areas are formed. The semiconductor chip and the contact areas are electrically conductively contacted through connection areas disposed on a surface of an electrically insulating protective layer applied to the semiconductor chip. That surface faces away from the semiconductor chip. Contact can be established between the connection areas and the contact areas through the use of soldered joints or electrically conductive adhesive bonds. A smart card including the smart card module is also provided.

The chip module is particularly suitable for implanting in a smart card body. The module has a carrier and a chip fitted on the carrier. A pedestal or base-type elevation formed on the carrier laterally surrounds the chip completely or partly.
摘要:
A carrier element for a semiconductor chip, in particular to be built into smart cards. The carrier element has a substrate that carries the chip and a stiffening sheet which also carries the chip and has a recess for receiving the chip and its connection leads therein. An edge of the recess is provided with a frame formed integrally from the sheet.
摘要:
A carrier element for a semiconductor chip which can be incorporated in smart cards and soldered onto circuit boards using SMD technology. For this purpose, a copper lamination of a plastic sheet is structured by etching in such a way that contact areas are formed in one piece with conductor tracks which end at the edge of the carrier element and enable reliable soldering.
摘要:
The smart card has a card body and a plurality of contact areas exposed on a flat surface of the card body. The contact areas are fabricated from electrically conductive material and are electrically connected to contact terminals, which are assigned to an electronic circuit formed on the semiconductor substrate of a semiconductor chip. The contact areas are fabricated as a structured coating on a main surface of the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip, after fabrication with the contact areas is inserted and fixed in a receptacle opening in the card body of the smart card in such a way that the contact areas extend essentially flush with the outer face of the card body. In order to ensure sufficiently high mechanical flexibility, the thickness of the silicon substrate of the chip is preferably less than about 100 &mgr;m.

The first and the second layer are at least partly composed of polycarbonate. The third layer is arranged between the first and the second layer and is composed of a material having a melting point of Ts
摘要:
A chip cover for complete or partial covering of electrical, electronic, optoelectronic and/or electromechanical components includes an activator capable of fully or partially destroying the electrical, electronic, optoelectronic and/or electromechanical components of the chip when activated. The activator can be activated by an attempt to remove the chip cover from the chip. In this way it is possible to reliably prevent reverse engineering and/or manipulation of the chip.
摘要:
An antenna coil, in particular for a contactless smart card, includes coil turns formed of thin conductor tracks having first and second ends. The first end of a respective one of the conductor tracks is electrically conductively connected to the second end of an adjacent one of the conductor tracks. The conductor tracks include first and last conductor tracks, and the first end of the first conductor track and the second end of the last conductor track form coil connections. The conductor tracks are disposed in parallel on a flexible, non-conductive carrier strip. The carrier strip has bends and forms a polygon containing the connected ends of the conductor tracks. The bends are guided through approximately 180.degree., and the coil turns lie approximately in the same plane.
摘要:
A product label includes a semiconductor chip and an antenna. The semiconductor chip stores information about a product. The antenna transmits the information about the product to a reading device. The antenna has a predetermined breaking point at which the antenna can be destroyed during the reading operation by energy introduced by the reading device so that the product label can be read only for a specific number of read cycles. A method of producing product labels and a method for a contactless, forgery-proof identification of products are also provided.
摘要:
A method for producing a smart card module includes bonding one end of a thin wire onto a first contact zone of a semiconductor chip. The wire is guided in a plurality of turns forming an antenna coil. The wire is bonded onto a second contact area of the semiconductor chip.
