Abstract:
This invention relates to an integrated circuit device, in particular for manufacturing smart card electronic units for smart cards. It comprises: an active layer ( 32 ) including a semiconductor material within which integrated circuits are formed and having a face ( 34 ) provided with a plurality of electrical connection terminals ( 36 ) and a second face, wherein said face has a thickness smaller than 100 mum, and a complementary layer ( 40 ) having a first face ( 42 ) attached to the active face of the active layer, a second face ( 44 ) and a side surface ( 48 ), wherein said complementary layer includes a plurality of recesses ( 46 ), each recess extending through the whole thickness of the complementary layer, and extending from a contact terminal ( 36 ) to said side surface ( 48 ).
Abstract:
The invention concerns an electronic data storage medium including a body ( 30 ) made from insulated plastic material which has two main parallel sides, a semiconductor component ( 34 ) and a number of external electrical contact pads flush with the first main side ( 30 a) of the body. The body ( 30 ) includes a recess ( 32 ) opening out onto the first main side ( 30 a). The storage medium also includes a number of conducting elements ( 28 ), each with a first end (a) flush with the first main side to form an external contact pad, a second end (b) arranged in the said recess and an intermediate part (c) buried in the body; and A number of connecting elements ( 38 ) to electrically connect the terminals of the semiconductor component to the second ends of the conducting elements.

Abstract:
The chip card comprises a card body (24) and an embedded chip module (14) having a plurality of contact fields (C1-C8) connected to respective terminals of the chip. The card body further comprises a positioning feature (28) adapted to univocally identify said contact fields according to their location and orientation on the card body. The positioning feature is a hole or a notch formed on the card body in an area including the chip module such as a contact field (C1-C8) which has no electrical functionality as contact field C6 according to ISO 7816-2. The invention is particularly adapted to card bodies including a plug-in removable portion of smaller size comprising said chip module and said positioning feature such as smaller size 'mini-plug' SIMs for mobile phones.
