Abstract: The invention relates to a transponder layer (30), in particular for producing a laminate structure, for example being embodied as a chip card, having an antenna substrate (31), which, on an antenna side (38), is equipped with an antenna (33) formed from a wire conductor (32) as well as with a chip (41), and which, on the antenna side, has terminal conductors for connecting the chip to the wire conductor of the antenna, in such a manner that the chip is arranged adjacently to terminal ends (34, 35) of the wire conductor, and in such a manner that both the terminal ends of the wire conductor and chip terminals (39, 40), which are arranged on a contact side of a semiconductor body of the chip, said contact side facing towards the antenna substrate, are contacted with the terminal conductors.
