  • Patent number: 7605453
    Abstract: A chip module and to a chip card with a chip module which can be bent in such a way that a cross-sectional area runs along the greatest curvature of the bending line and parallel to one side of the chip module or the chip card. The module comprises contact areas within a surrounding line which are arranged in a plane perpendicular to the cross-sectional area, the surrounding line comprising a first line portion, which is adjacent the cross-sectional area, and a second line portion, which is opposite the first line portion. Furthermore, the module comprises a component, which is positioned in such a way that a first distance between the component and the first line portion is greater than a second distance between the component and the second line portion.

  • Publication number: 20080205012
    Abstract: A chip card module including a substrate and also conductor patterns, which are applied on at least one side of the substrate without any adhesive. A chip is arranged on one side of the substrate and connected in an electrically conducting manner to the conductor patterns. A mold cap encapsulates at least part of the chip and of the conductor patterns. The method of producing such a chip card module includes providing a substrate, applying conductor patterns to at least one side of the substrate without any adhesive, mounting a chip on one side of the substrate, connecting the chip to the conductor patterns, and applying a molding compound on the substrate, so that at least part of the chip and of the conductor patterns is covered.

  • Patent number: 7069652
    Abstract: A smart card is laminated from at least two layers of paper or film as a mounting material. A first of the layers is fitted with a semiconductor chip and a second layer has connecting contacts as well as conductor tracks or external connecting surfaces. The contacts of the semiconductor chips are electrically conductively connected to the connecting contacts on the second layer. No chip modules are required to produce the smart cards. The mounting materials provided with ICs and contacts can be laminated in an endless roll format, in the same way as for paper production.

  • Patent number: 7019981
    Abstract: A chip card having a chip card body, a semiconductor chip and a carrier substrate, the carrier substrate being provided on both sides with surface contacts and with contact-hole lines electrically connecting the upper and lower surface contacts to one another. The contact-hole lines are arranged so close to the edge of the carrier substrate that their lower ends open out into a base of an outer cavity, where they are closed off, to thereby prevent moisture from penetrating into the inner cavity, in which the semiconductor chip is located, without it being necessary to produce a dedicated cover for the contact-hole lines.

  • Publication number: 20040256150
    Abstract: A nonconducting substrate forming a strip or a panel on which a plurality of carrier elements having respective boundary lines are formed. The substrate includes a contact side, an insertion side opposite the contact side, and a conducting insertion-side metallization provided on the insertion side. The insertion-side metallization is formed such that an electrical connection can take place by flip-chip bonding between contact points of an integrated circuit to be applied to the insertion side and the insertion-side metallization.

  • Patent number: 6806562
    Abstract: A device having a semiconductor component and a printed circuit board are described. The semiconductor component has external contacts and the printed circuit board has contact terminals. The contact terminals display a central blind opening, into which the external contacts of the semiconductor component protrude and are in a force-locking engagement with the contact terminal areas. In the method of electromechanically connecting the two parts to form a device, after they have been aligned, the two components are merely pressed onto each other.

  • Patent number: 6557769
    Abstract: Flip-chip bumps (solder bumps) are applied on the contact-connection points of a semiconductor chip. These bumps extend from there through a covering compound (mold) that is applied as a protective layer. The end of each one of the bumps that is remote from the semiconductor chip forms a pad. This pad lies approximately plane-parallel in the surface of the covering compound that is remote from the semiconductor chip. At least during the encapsulation process, the chips are preferably arranged on a carrier element, in particular a carrier strip.
