The electric track is formed of conductive wires. All or part of the conductive wires are bonded to the support along all or part of their length. All or part of the conductive wires have at least one contact portion exposed towards at least one of the first and second sides of the support. Each of the contact pads of the LED-type device is positioned opposite a contact portion of one of the conductive wires and is electrically connected to the contact portion.

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: 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.

Abstract: A open cavity semiconductor chip package that is leadless and does not have a metal lead frame as in conventional packages. The absence of a lead frame minimizes leakage paths and allows the novel package to be more readily fabricated as a hermetic package. A dual sided insulative or dielectric film is employed as the base interconnect between a semiconductor chip and outside contacts. Electrical connection from the top side of the film to the bottom side of the film is made through conductive micro-vias. The semiconductor chip is mounted on a paddle in a central opening in the film and wire bonded to pads on the film. After mounting of the chip, a cover or lid is attached to the film to encapsulate the assembly and maintain hermeticity of the package.

Abstract: Apparatus for bonding an insulating material to a metal strip having a conveyor for moving a strip of insulting material along a path of travel and a mechanism for placing perforations in the strip and cutting the strip into sections of predetermined length. The conveyor has raised registration studs that pass through the perforations. A metal strip that also contains perforations is brought into moving contact with the section with its perforation being registered on said studs and a heat curable bonding material is introduced between the metal strip and the insulation sections. A second conveyor is then moved into pressure contact with the moving sections and metal strip registered on the first conveyor and heat is applied to cure the bonding material.
