Abstract:
Dual-interface Integrated Circuit (IC) card components and methods for manufacturing the dual-interface IC card components are described. In an embodiment, a dual-interface IC card component includes a single-sided contact base structure, which includes a substrate with an electrical contact layer. On the single-sided contact base structure, one or more antenna contact leads are attached to the single-sided contact base structure to form a dual-interface contact structure by applying an adhesive material to partially cover an overlapping area of the at least one antenna contact and the substrate, which is a component of a dual-interface IC card. Other embodiments are also described.
Abstract:
In a method of producing a transponder (T1, T2, T3), a substrate (1, 91) is provided. The substrate (9, 91) comprises a first area (2), a second area (3) adjacent to the first area (2), and a first electric contact (8, 98) adjacent to the second area (3). An electric device (50, 80) is placed in or on the first area (2), preferably without touching the first electric contact (8, 98). Subsequently, a conductive glue (12) is applied on the second area (3) and on the first electric contact (8, 98) so that the conductive glue (12) electrically couples the first electric contact (8, 98) with the electric device (50, 80).

Abstract:
Consistent with an example embodiment, there is a method for assembling a wafer level chip scale processed (WLCSP) wafer; The wafer has a topside surface and an back-side surface, and a plurality of device die having electrical contacts on the topside surface. The method comprises back-grinding, to a thickness, the back-side surface the wafer. A protective layer of a thickness is molded onto the backside of the wafer. The wafer is mounted onto a sawing foil; along saw lanes of the plurality of device die, the wafer is sawed, the sawing occurring with a blade of a first kerf and to a depth of the thickness of the back-ground wafer. Again, the wafer is sawed along the saw lanes of the plurality of device die, the sawing occurring with a blade of a second kerf, the second kerf narrower than the first kerf, and sawing to a depth of the thickness of the protective layer. The plurality of device die are separated into individual device die. Each individual device die has a protective layer on the back-side, the protective layer having a stand-off distance from a vertical edge of the individual device die.
