The data carrier comprises a plastic body (1), in which a metal layer carrying data in CD or DVD format is arranged. Furthermore, the data carrier comprises a semiconductor chip (7) embedded in plastic body (1) and having contacts (8) or an antenna for communicating with an external apparatus. In order to compensate the unbalance caused by the semiconductor chip (7), a counterweight (9) is provided, the central hole (3) is offset from the carrier's center, or the plastic body has asymmetric shape. By combining a storage medium having CD or DVD format with a semiconductor chip, the fields of application of the data carrier are broadened. The semiconductor chip (7) can e.g. be used for storing an access authorization of the stored data. |
