Abstract: The invention relates to a chip card manufacturing method. According to this method, there are produced on the one hand, a module including a substrate supporting contacts on one face, and bonding pads on the other, on the other hand, an antenna on a support. The ends of the antenna are linked to lands of connection lands receiving a drop of soldering material on a connection portion. In order to make the soldered electrical connection between the module and the antenna reliable, the bonding pads extend over a zone covering a surface area less than that of the connection portions. The invention relates also to a chip card whose module includes bonding pads extending over a zone covering a surface area less than that of the connection portions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating chip cards. According to this method, an antenna and a chip card module are provided. This chip card module includes a dielectric substrate and conducting tracks at least on a face of this substrate. A connection unit is used to establish a connection between the antenna and conducting tracks of the module. The invention also relates to a method for fabricating an antenna support including such a connection unit. The invention also relates to a chip card and an antenna support which are obtained by the aforementioned methods.

Abstract: A chip card manufacturing method. A module includes a substrate supporting contacts on one surface and conductive paths and a chip on another; and an antenna on a holder, the antenna including a contact pad for respectively connecting to each of the ends thereof. A solder drop is placed on each of the contact pads of the antenna. The holder of the antenna is inserted between plastic layers. A cavity is provided, in which the module can be accommodated and the solder drops remain accessible. The height of the solder drops before heating is suitable for projecting into the cavity. A module is placed in each cavity. The areas of the module that are located on the solder drops are heated to melt the solder and to solder the contact pads of the antenna to conductive paths of the module.
