Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal substrate member with which an IC module for non-contact IC card can be manufactured with sufficient productivity. <P>SOLUTION: A member used for the module for the IC card of a transfer mold type is etched/formed on a metallic thin band-like work material 111 in a state where respective parts of metal substrates 120 in a unit are held by connection parts 126. A die pad 121 for loading an IC chip by turning a terminal face up and antenna terminals 122A and 122B for connecting to an antenna coil are arranged on a side outer than the die pad and a resin sealing region across the die pad. Antenna terminal regions of the unit metal substrates adjacent in a longitudinal direction of the material are overlapped as a common region. Outer shapes of the respective unit metal substrates are worked so that they are resin-sealed only by cutting prescribed width in the longitudinal direction of the material on the outer side, and the desired outer shape can be separated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、非接触型のICカードに用いられるトランスファーモールドタイプのICカードモジュール用のメタルサブストレート部材と、該メタルサブストレート部材を用いた非接触型のICカードに用いられるトランスファーモールドタイプのICカードモジュールに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
情報の機密性の面からICカードが次第に普及されつつ中、近年では、読み書き装置(リーダライタ)と接触せずに情報の授受を行う非接触型のICカードが提案され、中でも、外部の読み書き装置との信号交換を、あるいは信号交換と電力供給とを電磁波により行う方式のものが実用化されつつある。
このような非接触式のICカードにおいては、例えば、図8(a)に示すように、ICモジュール812は、アンテナ811に接続されており、その回路構成は、通常、図8(b)のようになっている。
図8において、810はICカード、811はアンテナ、812はICモジュール、813は(ICモジュールの)端子である。
このようなICチップモジュールにおけるICチップの実装方法としては、プリント基板にICチップをマウントし、ボンディング線にてプリント基板上へ接続するCOB(Chip On Board)が最も多く用いられているが、この方法では実装厚を薄くできないという欠点があり、最近では、実装厚を薄くでき、量産にも対応できる実装形態として、導電性のダイパッドをハーフエッチングしたメタルサブストレート上にICチップをマウントし、ボンディング線にてメタルサブストレートの端子部へ接続する形態も提案されている。
このような形態のICチップモジュールにおいては、単位のメタルサブストレートは、ICチップを搭載するための領域(ダイパッド部)、アンテナ回路との接続用の領域や入出力端子の領域等、複数の領域に一部繋がった状態で分割形成されているのが普通で、その作製においては、これらの領域を繋ぎ部で加工用素材に接続し、且つ、単位のメタルサブストレートを多面付けしており、各単位のメタルサブストレートにICチップを搭載して樹脂封止した後に、所定の繋ぎ部を切断分離する。
単位のメタルサブストレートをリードあるいはリードフレームと言う場合もあり、また、単位のメタルサブストレートが多面付けされ、加工用素材に直接、あるいは枠部を設けて枠部に、繋ぎ部で繋がった状態のものを、リードフレームと言う場合もある。
【0003】
このような、メタルサブストレートをプレスにて作製すると、プレス加工時にバリ911が発生し、図9(a)に示すように、樹脂封止した場合、裏面への樹脂漏れ931が発生してしまうため、エッチング加工方法が採られるが、エッチング加工方法による場合には、図9(b)に示すように、樹脂漏れを起こさずに封止ができる。
尚、図9において、910はメタルサブストレート、920はICチップ、930は封止用樹脂、931は樹脂漏れ、940はボンディングワイヤである。
エッチング加工方法においては、薄いCu材、あるいは42合金(42%Ni−Fe合金)を用い、通常、製版処理、エッチング処理をリール・トウー・リールで行う、リール方式が、その生産性の面から採られている。
そして、面付けしてエッチング加工後、面付け状態のまま、順に、銀メッキ処理あるいは全面パラジュームめっき処理、ICチップマウント、ワイヤボンディング、個別樹脂封止等の処理を、連続して、あるいは、分けて、リール方式で行う。
そして、従来、エッチング加工により、ICモジュール用のメタルサブストレートを面付けして、リール方式で作製する場合、図7(a)に示すように、1面毎に、その絵柄がオーバラップしないように配列して作製していた。
尚、図7(b)は、図7(a)のように面付けされてエッチングされた、メタルサブストレート部材の各ダイパッド部621にICチップを搭載し、更にトランスファー方式で樹脂封止した状態を示している。
この後、所定の位置をカットすることにより、個片化する。
図7において、611は加工用素材、620は単位のメタルサブストレート、621はダイパッド、621Hはハーフエッチング部、622A、622Bは(アンテナと接続する)端子、625は貫通孔部、626は繋ぎ部、628はスプロケット、640は封止用樹脂である。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のように、最近、ICモジュール用にメタルサブストレートを用いる形態が提案され、エッチング加工により、ICモジュール用のメタルサブストレートを面付けして、リール方式で作製する作製方法が知られているが、特に、非接触型のICカード用のICモジュールにおいては、更なる、量産化、低コスト化が求められていた。
本発明は、これらに対応するもので、非接触型のICカード用のICモジュールを、更に、量産性良く製造できる、メタルサブストレート部材を提供しようとするものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明のICカードモジュール用のメタルサブストレート部材は、トランスファモールドタイプの非接触型ICカード用のICカードモジュールに用いられる単位のメタルサブストレートを、多数配列したメタルサブストレート部材であって、金属からなる帯状の薄い加工用素材に単位のメタルサブストレートの各部を繋ぎ部で保持した状態で、エッチング形成されたものであり、単位のメタルサブストレートは、端子面を上側にしてICチップを搭載するためのダイパッドを有し、アンテナコイルと接続するためのアンテナ端子を、ダイパッドおよび樹脂封止領域よりも外側に、アンテナコイル1ループ用として2個あるいはアンテナコイル2ループ用として4個を、前記帯状の加工用素材の長手方向でダイパッドを跨ぎ、それぞれ配するもので、前記帯状の加工用素材の長手方向に隣接する単位のメタルサブストレート同志のアンテナ端子部領域を、共通領域としてオーバラップして、単位のメタルサブストレートを、加工用素材の長手方向に面付けしており、且つ、各単位のメタルサブストレートは、その外側(2箇所)において加工用素材の長手方向に所定幅のカットを入れるだけで、樹脂封止した後に所望の外形が分離できるように、外形加工されていることを特徴とするものである。
そして、上記に記載のメタルサブストレート部材であって、端子面を上側にしてICチップを搭載するための、ICチップより大サイズのダイパッドを有し、該ダイパッドのICチップ搭載領域はハーフエッチングにて、メタルサブストレートの基材厚よりも薄く形成されていることを特徴とするものである。
そしてまた、上記のいずれかに記載のメタルサブストレート部材であって、ダイパッド領域の外側に、封止樹脂の密着性を向上させるための凹部を配し、前記アンテナ端子と一体的に接続するる内部端子を設けていることを特徴とするものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a metal substrate member for a transfer mold type IC card module used for a non-contact type IC card, and a transfer mold type IC used for a non-contact type IC card using the metal substrate member. The card module.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, IC cards have been gradually spread from the aspect of information confidentiality, and in recent years, non-contact type IC cards that exchange information without contacting a reader / writer have been proposed. A system in which signal exchange with an apparatus or signal exchange and power supply is performed by electromagnetic waves is being put into practical use.
In such a non-contact type IC card, for example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the IC module 812 is connected to an antenna 811, and its circuit configuration is usually as shown in FIG. 8 (b). It is like that.
In FIG. 8, 810 is an IC card, 811 is an antenna, 812 is an IC module, and 813 is a terminal (of the IC module).
As a method for mounting an IC chip in such an IC chip module, COB (Chip On Board) in which an IC chip is mounted on a printed circuit board and connected to the printed circuit board by a bonding line is most often used. This method has the disadvantage that the mounting thickness cannot be reduced. Recently, as a mounting form that can reduce the mounting thickness and accommodate mass production, an IC chip is mounted on a metal substrate half-etched with a conductive die pad and bonded. A form of connecting to a terminal portion of a metal substrate with a wire has also been proposed.
In such an IC chip module, the unit metal substrate has a plurality of areas such as an area for mounting an IC chip (die pad portion), an area for connection to an antenna circuit, and an area for input / output terminals. It is usually divided and formed in a state of being partly connected to each other, and in its production, these regions are connected to the processing material at the connecting part, and the unit metal substrate is multifaceted, An IC chip is mounted on each unit metal substrate and sealed with resin, and then a predetermined connecting portion is cut and separated.
In some cases, the unit metal substrate is called a lead or lead frame, and the unit metal substrate is multi-faced and connected to the processing material directly or to the frame part by connecting it to the frame part. May be referred to as a lead frame.
[0003]
When such a metal substrate is manufactured by pressing, burrs 911 are generated during pressing, and as shown in FIG. 9A, when resin sealing is performed, resin leakage 931 to the back surface occurs. Therefore, an etching method is employed. However, in the case of the etching method, as shown in FIG. 9B, sealing can be performed without causing resin leakage.
In FIG. 9, 910 is a metal substrate, 920 is an IC chip, 930 is a sealing resin, 931 is a resin leak, and 940 is a bonding wire.
In the etching processing method, a thin Cu material or a 42 alloy (42% Ni-Fe alloy) is used, and a reel method, in which a plate making process and an etching process are usually performed by a reel-to-reel, is from the viewpoint of productivity. It is taken.
Then, after imposition and etching, the processes such as silver plating or full-scale palladium plating, IC chip mounting, wire bonding, individual resin sealing, etc. are sequentially or separately in the imposition state. The reel method is used.
Conventionally, when a metal substrate for an IC module is faced by etching and manufactured by a reel method, as shown in FIG. 7A, the pattern does not overlap on each side. It was prepared by arranging in a row.
7B shows a state in which an IC chip is mounted on each die pad portion 621 of the metal substrate member, which has been surface-etched and etched as shown in FIG. 7A, and is further resin-sealed by a transfer method. Is shown.
Then, it cuts into pieces by cutting a predetermined position.
In FIG. 7, 611 is a processing material, 620 is a unit metal substrate, 621 is a die pad, 621H is a half-etched portion, 622A and 622B are terminals (connected to an antenna), 625 is a through-hole portion, and 626 is a connecting portion. , 628 are sprockets, and 640 is a sealing resin.

The antenna terminal area between the metal substrates adjacent to each other in the direction is overlapped as a common area, and the unit metal substrate is faced in the longitudinal direction of the processing material. Metal substrates can be encapsulated with resin just by making a predetermined width cut in the longitudinal direction of the processing material on the outside (2 locations).
