摘要:
A tamper-evident credential has a radio frequency identification (RFID) package with a first antenna and a subordinate antenna, RFID package defining a first part of the credential. The credential also has a subordinate RFID package defining a second part of the credential. The subordinate RFID package selectively coupled to said subordinate antenna so that an interrogation signal applied to said first antenna package is transmitted to the subordinate RFID package across said subordinate antenna.

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.
摘要:
A chip module has a contact area disposed on its outer side formed of a plurality of essentially flat contact elements of electrically conductive material insulated from one another. At least one semiconductor chip having one or more integrated semiconductor circuits that are electrically connected to the contact elements of the contact area via bonding wires. The contact elements of the chip module are formed by a prefabricated lead frame for supporting the at least one semiconductor chip and have on two opposing sides of the chip module outwardly offset terminals arranged in rows next to one another. The outwardly offset terminals are provided for surface mounting the chip module on the mounting surface of an external printed circuit board or an external circuit board substrate.
摘要:
A microprocessor has a control unit with a housing surrounding the control unit. The invention also relates to a chip card having such a microprocessor that is protected against manipulations. At least one sensor indicates ambient states and is connected to the control unit and is provided in a region of the housing of the microprocessor. The control unit is configured in such a way that it can be placed in an inactive state if a measurement signal that indicates a predetermined ambient state is and/or is not fed to the control unit from the sensor.
摘要:
A nonconductive substrate forms a strip or a panel on which a multiplicity of carrier elements is formed, in particular for installation in a chipcard. One side of the substrate is provided with conductive contact surfaces which lie within an outer contour line that determines the size of a carrier element. The other side of the substrate has conductor structures within the outer contour line which form at least contact fields for at least one coil to be contacted and for at least one semiconductor chip. The substrate has cut-outs outside each outer contour line, through which it is possible to access coil terminals of the semiconductor chip for testing purposes from the contact-surface side, as long as the carrier element is still in the strip or in the panel.
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.
