<p>A method and apparatus for facilitating interconnection of antenna lead wires (14, 16) to an integrated circuit (20) and encapsulating the assembly to form an improved miniature transponder device including the provision of an additional protective layer of insulation to the top of an integrated circuit chip or die and the provision of enlarged plated electrodes (22, 24) to the surface of the additional insulation to form enhanced bonding pads, such pads being electrically connected through the protective layers to the normal bonding pads of the integrated circuit device. The enhanced bonding pads (22, 24) are made of a soft conductive metal such that external wires (14, 16) to be attached thereto can be bonded to the pads using a thermal compression technique. This invention also extends to a method of encapsulating a transponder in heat shrunk plastics material.</p> |
