  • Patent number: 8017441
    Abstract: An IC tag inlet (100) is configured by: an upper side antenna (102) and a lower side antenna (103) sandwiching a semiconductor chip (101) that includes an upper electrode (132) and a lower electrode (133) from both upper and lower directions; and a support resin (104) covering the semiconductor chip (101). The semiconductor chip (101) is a micro chip having an outer size of 0.15 mm square or smaller, and a thickness of 10 ?m or smaller. In a manufacturing process of the IC tag inlet (100), in order to make the handling of the semiconductor chip (101) easy, prior to a step of sandwiching the semiconductor chip (101) between the upper side antenna (102) and the lower side antenna (103), the whole surface of the semiconductor chip (101) is covered by the support resin (104), so that an effective volume is made large.
