摘要 |
The present invention relates to overcoming some of the physical problems associated with putting a biometric sensor (40) into the body of an electronic card (10), such as a smart card. A disclosed method of manufacturing an electronic card (10) including a biometric sensor (40), comprises providing a preformed card body (20) including a circuit (30) having contacts (32) for connection to a biometric sensor (40), the contacts (32) being embedded within the preformed card body (20), removing material from the preformed card body (20) to form a cavity (50) in the preformed card body (20) to expose the contacts (32), coating walls (54) of the cavity with an adhesive epoxy (56), and connecting a biometric sensor (40) to the contacts (32) using an conductive epoxy (52). Also disclosed is an electronic card (10) including a biometric sensor (40) manufactured by this method. |
