  • Publication number: 20070139203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an RFID tag performing exchange of information with an external device without contact, and is to improve the resistance to bending while avoiding an increase in the thickness of the RFID tag. A circuit chip is bonded to a base portion of a base with a thermosetting adhesive. The base is folded, and an ultraviolet curing adhesive is applied on the circuit chip. The fold-back portions of the base are folded back onto the circuit chip, to which portions ultraviolet light is irradiated, as a result, both of the surfaces of the circuit chip are bonded to the base with the adhesives.
