CHIPKARTE UND VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINER CHIPKARTE

摘要

A chip card for the contactless transmission of electric signals to a terminal includes a card body in which a coupling element having conductor tracks and contact connections, and a semiconductor chip having an electronic circuit associated with the coupling element, are constructed in an integrated manner. The semiconductor chip is provided on its surface with contact elements for electrical connection of the electronic circuit and the contact connections of the coupling element. A carrier made of an electrically insulating material supports at least part of the conductor tracks and the contact connections of the coupling element. The carrier is provided with an aperture in the vicinity of the contact connections of the coupling element, for receiving the semiconductor chip.
