A MOS RF surveillance and/or identification tag, and methods for its manufacture and use. The tag includes an interposer, an antenna/inductor, and integrated circuitry on the interposer. The integrated circuitry has a lowest layer in physical contact with the interposer. The method of manufacture includes forming a lowest layer of integrated circuitry on an interposer, forming successive layers of the integrated circuitry on the lowest layer of integrated circuitry, and attaching an electrically conductive functional layer to the interposer. Alternatively, an electrically conductive structure may be formed from a functional layer attached to the interposer. The method of use includes causing/inducing a current in the present tag sufficient for it to generate, reflect or modulate a detectable electromagnetic signal, detecting the signal, and optionally, processing information conveyed by the detectable electromagnetic signal.
