Abstract: A process for manufacturing an IC card includes a step of forming a plane coil by etching or punching a thin metal plate so that the plane coil consists of a conductor line wound as several loops in substantially the same plane and has respective terminals. A semiconductor element having electrodes is mounted on the plane coil. An adhesive agent or tape is attached to a predetermined area of the plane coil so that adjacent conductor lines in the loops are kept a predetermined gap therebetween. The plane coil is disposed between a pair of films to cover the plane coil therebetween, one of the films being provided with adhesive layer on a surface facing to the other film to seal the plane coil with the semiconductor element by attaching the pair of films with respect to each other by means of the adhesive layer.

Abstract: There is provided an IC card having a plane coil in which a short circuit is seldom caused by the deformation generated by an external force given to the plane coil in the traverse direction. An IC card 10 comprises a rectangular plane coil 14 formed by punching or etching a thin metallic sheet in which a conductor line 12 is wound a plurality of times on substantially the same plane, wherein terminals at both ends of the plane coil 14 and electrode terminals of a semiconductor element 16 are electrically connected with each other, and a bent portion 20 composed of a curved portion in which the conductor 12 on each winding composing a linear portion of the plane coil 14 is curved at the substantially same position in the same direction is formed in the conductor on each winding of the plane coil 14.
