Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、複合ICカード用ICモジュールに関する。
詳しくは、接触と非接触の両用の機能を持つICチップが内蔵された複合ICカード用ICモジュールにおいて、カード基体内のアンテナとの接着強度を高めることができるICモジュールに関する。
したがって、本発明の利用分野は、複合ICカード用ICモジュールの製造や複合ICカードの製造や利用の分野に関する。
【0002】
【従来技術】
接触と非接触の両方のインターフェースを持つ複合ICカード用ICチップが登場している。通常、このICチップを使ったICモジュールはカード基体内の非接触用アンテナとの接続をプリント基板裏面のアンテナ接続用端子板を介して行っている。当該接続用端子板とカード基体内のアンテナとが導電性材料によって接着されてICチップの非接触通信機能部に導通する。
一方、カード表面には6個ないし8個のISO7816接触方式の端子群が設けられていて接触通信を行う。
これらにより、接触、非接触の両用となるようにされている。
【0003】
かかるICモジュールとカード基体内のアンテナとの接続方法を記載する先行技術には、特許文献1、特許文献2、等の多数があるが、具体的な内容を図面を参照して説明することとする。
図4は、従来の接触型ICカードの平面図、図5は、従来の接触、非接触両用ICカードの平面図、図6は、ICモジュールの接触端子の端子群を表わす平面図、図7は、従来の複合ICカード用ICモジュールの裏面のボンディング状態を表わす図、図8は、図7の複合ICモジュールをカード基体に装着した接触、非接触両用ICカードの断面図、である。
【0004】
従来の接触型ICカード11は、図4のように均一な薄板状のカード基体11bに接触型ICモジュール14を埋設した周知の形態のものである。
ISOの規格に基づき、基板11bのサイズは、53.98×85.60mm、厚みは、0.68〜0.84mmの範囲、通常0.76mmにされている。
接触、非接触両用の複合ICカード12も同一形状の基板であって、図5のように、カード基体12b内にアンテナコイル21を有している。
アンテナコイル21は破線で示しているが、実際にはカード基体内に埋設されていて見えないので外観上は、接触型ICカード11と異なるものではない。
アンテナコイル21の両端は、接触、非接触両用の複合ICカード用ICモジュール15のアンテナ接続用端子板に接続するようにされている。
【0005】
従来の接触型ICモジュール14の端子群は、図6のように、ISO7816の規格によりC1〜C8の8つの端子が規定されている。
なお、C1はVCC(供給電圧)、C2はRST(リセット信号)、C3はCLK(クロック信号)、C5はGND(接地)端子で通常、ICモジュール14の端子板中心部分と電気的につながって形成されている。C6はVPP(可変供給電圧;プログラム供給電圧など)、C7はI/O(データ入出力)である。
C4とC8は、RFU(予備端子)であって現在は使用していない。
【0006】
従来の複合ICカード用ICモジュール15の裏面のボンディング状態は、図7のようになっている。
C1,C2,C3,C5,C7端子板背面の絶縁基板には、ワイヤボンディング基板側パッド26が形成されていて、当該パッドを介して、それぞれICチップ3側の接続端子(パッド)にボンディングワイヤ27で接続されている。
C4,C8端子板は予備端子なので基板側パッドは設けられていない。C6のVPPも使用しない場合が多い。
C2,C3端子とC6,C7端子の背面を利用してアンテナ接続用端子板24,25が設けられ、C4,C8端子の背面を通る回路を介して、ICチップ3の非接触インターフェース部A1,A2にボンディングされている。
ICモジュールのICチップ3やボンディングワイヤ27部分は樹脂モールドされて実装されている。
【0007】
図8は、図7のICモジュール15をカード基体12bに装着した接触、非接触両用ICカードの断面図である。アンテナ接続用端子板24,25を横切りボンディングワイヤ27に沿う断面が示されている。
ICモジュール15は、プリント基板のカード表面側に接触端子群を有しカード内面側にICチップ3とワイヤボンディング部を有している。
ICモジュールの装着は、まず予めアンテナコイル21が形成され埋設されているカード基体12bの当該カード基体表面からアンテナコイル両端の接続用端子面が現われるようにICモジュール装着用凹部5を掘削する。
次に、凹部5内にICモジュール15を装填して、接続用端子面とICモジュール側のアンテナ接続用端子板24,25間を導電性接着剤6で導通させる。
同時に、当該導電性接着剤、あるいは通常の接着剤も併用してICモジュール15を装着用凹部5内に固定する。
複合ICカード用ICモジュール15の樹脂モールド部7は、一段と深く切削された装着用凹部5の中央部分に嵌合するようにされている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の複合ICカード用のICモジュール15は、上述のようにしてアンテナ接続用端子板が、ICチップの非接触インターフェース部に接続しているが、アンテナ接続用端子板が平面な金属板であるため、曲げなどの外部応力が加わることによって、導電性材料との間で剥離が生じることがあった。
そこで本発明は、この欠点を改善した複合ICカード用ICモジュールの構造を研究して本発明の完成に至ったものである。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するための本発明の要旨は、接触、非接触の両方のインターフェースを持つICチップが内蔵されたICカード用ICモジュールであって、該ICチップを搭載するプリント基板の表面はISO7816が規定する8つの端子群を有し、該プリント基板の裏面には接触、非接触両用のICチップが搭載され、ICチップの接続端子と表面の端子の金属層とが接続されているICモジュールにおいて、カード基体内のアンテナと接続するためのプリント基板裏面に設けられた2つのアンテナ接続用端子板の導電性接着材料と接する面は、プリント基板の絶縁層に達する深さの複数の凹孔が穿孔さた金属層からなることを特徴とする複合ICカード用ICモジュール、にある。
【0011】
上記複合ICカード用ICモジュールにおいて、アンテナ接続用端子板の金属層の厚みを、35μmから70μmの範囲である、ようにすることができ、複数の凹孔が規則的に配列した格子凹孔として、アンテナ接続用端子板の平面外観が格子形状である、ようにすることもできる。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、複合ICカード用ICモジュール(以下、「複合ICモジュール」とも表現する。)において、アンテナ接続用端子板の導電性材料との接触面を格子状等の接触面積の大きい形状にし、かつ可能な限り端子板厚みを厚くすることにより、接続の信頼性向上を図ろうとするものである。
以下、本発明の複合ICモジュールについて図面を参照して説明する。図1は、本発明の複合ICモジュールの実施形態を示す背面図、図2は、アンテナ接続用端子板を示す図、図3は、従来のアンテナ接続用端子板を示す図、である。
【0013】
図1は、本発明の複合ICモジュール1の実施形態を示し、裏面のボンディング状態が表れている。図1(A)は背面平面図、図1(B)は、図1(A)のB−B線断面図、図1(C)は、図1(A)のC−C線断面図である。図示方法が多少異なるが、図1自体は、図7の従来例と実質的に同一のものである。
C1,C2,C3,C5,C7端子板背面の絶縁基板には、ワイヤボンディング基板側パッド261,262,263,265,267が形成されていて、当該パッドを介して、それぞれICチップ3側の接続端子(パッド)にワイヤ接続されている。C4,C8端子板は予備端子なので基板側パッドは設けられていない。C6のVPPも使用しない場合が多く同様にされている。
各ワイヤボンディング基板側パッドは、プリント基板8の絶縁層材料に予め貫通孔を空けておいてから銅箔8A,8cとラミネートして形成するものであるが、絶縁層と表裏の銅箔間をスルーホールで導通させるものであってもよい。
【0014】
アンテナ接続用端子板24,25は、ボンディングワイヤ27によって回路241,251に接続し、さらにICチップ3の非接触インターフェース部A1,A2にワイヤ接続されている。アンテナ接続用端子板24,25と回路241,251は、図7のように連続した回路板であっても良い。
なお、ICチップ3とボンディングワイヤ27接続部は点線で囲った樹脂モールド部7となっている。
【0015】
図1(B)(C)のように、ワイヤボンディング基板側パッド263,265,267は、複合ICモジュールの表面側銅箔からICチップ3にワイヤ接続されており、回路251は裏面側銅箔からICチップ3の非接触通信機能部A2に通じるようにされている。
【0016】
図2は、アンテナ接続用端子板24の拡大図であって、図2(A)は平面図、図2(B)は図2(A)のA−A線断面図である。なお、端子板25も同様であるので図示していない。図3は、同様に従来例のアンテナ接続用端子板24の平面図(A)と断面図(B)である。
アンテナ接続用端子板自体の大きさは、本発明のものも従来例のものも同様であって、L=2〜3mm、W=3〜4mm程度である。
従来例のアンテナ接続用端子板が、単に平面な金属板であるのに対し、本発明のアンテナ接続用端子板24,25は、例えば、矩形状の凹孔9が規則的に空けられていて、全体として格子状にされている特徴がある。
図2(A)の場合、2列の平行格子列にされているが、列状でなくてもよく、3列でも4列であっても良い。
【0017】
アンテナ接続用端子板24のプリント基板8は、ガラスエポキシ基材等の絶縁材料8bの両面に銅箔8a,8cを接着剤等でラミネートした基板から構成されている。銅箔8a,8cは表面側をニッケル下地めっきしてから硬質金めっきする処理が通常されている。銅箔8aは、前記ISOで規定する8個の端子板側であり、銅箔8cは、アンテナ接続用端子板24,25側のものである。
従来例のアンテナ接続用端子板24,25は、図3(B)のように、銅箔8aと銅箔8cが、ほぼ同一の厚みにされていたが、本発明では端子板側の銅箔8cを銅箔8aよりも厚くすることが好ましい。これは、端子板を格子状等することと同様に、導電性接着剤で接着する場合に凹孔側面部による接着面積を広くして接合強度を高くする目的のためである。
【0018】
従来の銅箔8a,8cの厚みは、18μmから35μm程度であるが、本発明では銅箔8cの厚みDを35μmから70μm程度にするのが好ましい。銅箔8aは従来どおりの厚みであってよい。
凹孔9の幅、長さ、ピッチ等は自由に設定できる。矩形状に限らず円形や不定形状であってもよい。接着面積を広くする目的から凹孔9の数は2〜3個ないしは数個以上の数であることが好ましい。
凹孔9を例えば、矩形状の格子凹孔として規則的に開口する場合は、図2のように、その平面外観は格子形状を呈するようになる。ただし、平面外観は格子形状に限らず、波形状であっても、規則的な水玉状または散点状に凹孔が形成されたものであっても良い。
【0019】
このような凹孔を設けた端子板は、単に導電性接着剤との接着面積を拡大するだけの効果ではなく、凹孔9内の底面では、例えば絶縁材料であるガラスエポキシ樹脂が露出するので、ガラスエポキシ樹脂と導電性ペーストが接着する組み合わせになり、銅箔との接着よりも接着性の高い材料間の接合が得られ、剥離強度を高度に高くすることができる。
【0020】
このように本発明の複合ICカード用ICモジュール1は、独自構造のアンテナ接続用端子板24,25を有するので、ICカード基体内のアンテナコイルと高い強度で接続させることができる。
【0021】
このような複合ICモジュールの製造は、まずICモジュール用プリント基板8の準備から行う。これには、絶縁性基材の基板側パッド26の各位置に、予め貫通孔(穴部)を形成したものを用いて製造する。絶縁性基材としては、例えば、厚さ75〜100μm程度のガラスエポキシフィルム、ポリエステルフィルム、ポリイミドフィルム、ビスマレイド−トリアジン樹脂フィルムなどのフィルムと熱硬化性接着シートを接着したものを用いる。
【0022】
所定の位置に貫通孔(穴部)を形成した後、絶縁性基材の両面に銅箔をヒートプレスにより接着して一体化する。これを、通常のフォトエッチング法により表面側端子群(C1〜C8)や背面側のアンテナ接続用端子板24,25を形成することによりパターニングを行う。
【0023】
アンテナ接続用端子板24,25のパターニングは、裏面の銅箔8cに対して所定の端子板形状を残すフォトエッチングと同時の工程で、あるいは別個の工程で、アンテナ接続用端子板24,25の表面を必要な格子形状または波形形状等にするフォトエッチング工程を行う。これには所定形状を備えたフォトマスクパターンを使用する。
レジスト剥離後、残存する銅箔層を電極として、表面側端子群と背面のアンテナ接続用端子板24,25に対してニッケルメッキ及び金めっき処理を行う。
【0024】
複合ICカード用ICチップ3をエポキシダイ接着剤によりプリント基板8にダイボンディングし、ICチップ3の各接続端子(パッド)と基板側の各パッド(穴部)26間および回路241,251間のワイヤボンディングを行う。
最後に、ICチップ3、ボンディングワイヤ27部分をトランスファーモールディング法、キャスティング法等により樹脂モールドし、更に必要に応じて裏面側を研磨して厚みを整えて、複合ICモジュール1が完成する。
【0025】
【実施例】
図1、図2、図3等を参照して本発明の実施例、比較例を説明する。
(実施例)
複合ICモジュール1用のプリント基板8として、厚み100μmのガラスエポキシ材料8bに厚み35μmの表面側銅箔8aと、厚み70μmの背面側銅箔8cを積層したものを使用した。なお、ガラスエポキシ材料8bには、ワイヤボンディング基板側パッド26を予め必要個数穿孔したものを使用した。
このプリント基板8に対して、表面側端子板と、背面側アンテナ接続用端子板24,25、回路241,251をフォトエッチング工程で形成した。
アンテナ接続用端子板24,25のサイズは、L=3.0mm×W=2.0mmになるようにし、各アンテナ接続用端子板24,25には、図2(A)のように幅200μm、長さ600μmの凹孔9が200μm間隔で各6個並ぶようにし、このものが2列に並列するようにした。凹孔9の深さは、ガラスエポキシ材料8bに達する深さとした。
その結果、端子板は図2(A)のように格子状の平面外観となった。
【0026】
エッチング後、表裏の銅箔に対して、ニッケルめっき2μm、金めっき0.2μmを施した。
その後、図1のように、表面側接触端子(ワイヤボンディング基板側パッド26)につなげるボンディングワイヤ5本と非接触通信機能部A1,A2に接続するボンディングワイヤ2本の合計7本を打ち込みし、最後に、ICチップ3とワイヤ部を樹脂封止して複合ICモジュール1を完成した。
【0027】
(比較例)
プリント基板8として、厚み100μmのガラスエポキシ材料8bに厚み35μmの表面側銅箔8aは実施例と同一にしたが、背面側銅箔8cには厚み35μmのものを使用した。
このプリント基板8に対して、実施例と同一の条件で、表面側端子板と、背面側アンテナ接続用端子板24,25、回路241,251をフォトエッチング工程で形成し、アンテナ接続用端子板24,25のサイズは、L=3.0mm×W=2.0mmになるようにして形成した。ただし、アンテナ接続用端子板24,25に凹孔9を設けず、平面な状態のままの銅箔とした(図3)。
その後、実施例と同様に、ワイヤ接続し樹脂封止して比較例の複合ICモジュールを完成した。
【0028】
導電性接着剤6として、導電性ペースト(パナソニックファクトリーソリューションズ製「LAC300D」)を使用して、実施例と比較例の複合ICモジュールの各10枚を、アンテナコイル埋め込み済みのICカード基板にICモジュール埋設用凹部5を掘削してから装着した(図8参照)。
【0029】
複合ICモジュール装着後、ICカードの耐久性の比較試験を行った。
試験は、ISO7816−1に基づく「曲げ試験(合計1000回の動的曲げ試験)」を行った。
その結果、比較例では、10枚中2枚の導電ペーストの剥離が生じたが、実施例では、全数剥離を生じることは無かった。
【0030】
【発明の効果】
上述のように、本発明の複合ICモジュールは、アンテナ接続用端子板表面には、プリント基板の絶縁層に達する深さの複数の凹孔が穿孔されているので、導電性接着剤との接合を強固にすることができ、ICカードの通信信頼性を高いものとすることができる。

[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the IC module for a composite IC card (hereinafter, also referred to as “composite IC module”), the contact surface of the terminal board for antenna connection with the conductive material has a shape with a large contact area such as a lattice shape. In addition, by increasing the thickness of the terminal board as much as possible, it is intended to improve the connection reliability.
The composite IC module of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a rear view showing an embodiment of a composite IC module of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing an antenna connection terminal plate, and FIG. 3 is a view showing a conventional antenna connection terminal plate.
[0013]
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a composite IC module 1 of the present invention, and shows a bonding state on the back surface. 1A is a rear plan view, FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1C is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. is there. Although the method of illustration is somewhat different, FIG. 1 itself is substantially the same as the conventional example of FIG.
Wire bonding substrate side pads 261, 262, 263, 265, and 267 are formed on the insulating substrate on the back side of the C1, C2, C3, C5, and C7 terminal boards, and the IC chip 3 side is provided through the pads. Wire connection is made to the connection terminal (pad). Since the C4 and C8 terminal boards are spare terminals, no board-side pads are provided. In many cases, C6 VPP is not used.
Each wire bonding substrate side pad is formed by previously forming a through hole in the insulating layer material of the printed circuit board 8 and then laminating it with the copper foils 8A and 8c. It may be one that conducts through a through hole.
[0014]
The antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 are connected to the circuits 241 and 251 by bonding wires 27 and further connected to the non-contact interface portions A 1 and A 2 of the IC chip 3. The antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 and the circuits 241 and 251 may be continuous circuit plates as shown in FIG.
The connecting portion of the IC chip 3 and the bonding wire 27 is a resin mold portion 7 surrounded by a dotted line.
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the wire bonding substrate side pads 263, 265, and 267 are wire-connected to the IC chip 3 from the front surface side copper foil of the composite IC module, and the circuit 251 is connected to the back surface side copper foil. To the non-contact communication function unit A2 of the IC chip 3.
[0016]
2A and 2B are enlarged views of the antenna connection terminal plate 24. FIG. 2A is a plan view, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. The terminal board 25 is not shown because it is the same. FIG. 3 is a plan view (A) and a cross-sectional view (B) of the antenna connection terminal plate 24 of the conventional example.
The size of the antenna connection terminal plate itself is the same for both the present invention and the conventional example, with L = 2 to 3 mm and W = 3 to 4 mm.
Whereas the antenna connection terminal plate of the conventional example is simply a flat metal plate, the antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 of the present invention have, for example, rectangular recess holes 9 regularly formed. As a whole, there is a feature of being in a lattice shape.
In the case of FIG. 2 (A), two parallel grid rows are used, but they may not be in a column shape, and may be three rows or four rows.
[0017]
The printed circuit board 8 of the antenna connection terminal board 24 is composed of a substrate obtained by laminating copper foils 8a and 8c with adhesive or the like on both surfaces of an insulating material 8b such as a glass epoxy base material. The copper foils 8a and 8c are usually treated with a hard gold plating after the surface side is plated with nickel. The copper foil 8a is on the side of the eight terminal boards defined by the ISO, and the copper foil 8c is on the antenna connection terminal boards 24 and 25 side.
As shown in FIG. 3B, the conventional antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 have the copper foil 8a and the copper foil 8c having substantially the same thickness. However, in the present invention, the copper foil on the terminal plate side is used. It is preferable to make 8c thicker than the copper foil 8a. This is for the purpose of increasing the bonding strength by widening the bonding area by the side surfaces of the concave holes when bonding with a conductive adhesive, as in the case where the terminal board is formed in a lattice shape or the like.
[0018]
The thickness of the conventional copper foils 8a and 8c is about 18 μm to 35 μm, but in the present invention, the thickness D of the copper foil 8c is preferably about 35 μm to 70 μm. The copper foil 8a may have a conventional thickness.
The width, length, pitch and the like of the concave holes 9 can be freely set. The shape is not limited to a rectangular shape, and may be a circular shape or an indefinite shape. For the purpose of widening the bonding area, the number of the concave holes 9 is preferably 2 to 3 or several or more.
When the concave holes 9 are regularly opened as rectangular lattice concave holes, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the planar appearance has a lattice shape. However, the planar appearance is not limited to the lattice shape, and may be a wave shape or may have a regular polka dot shape or a dotted shape with concave holes.
[0019]
The terminal board provided with such a concave hole is not merely an effect of expanding the adhesion area with the conductive adhesive, but, for example, glass epoxy resin as an insulating material is exposed at the bottom surface in the concave hole 9. It becomes a combination in which the glass epoxy resin and the conductive paste are bonded to each other, so that the bonding between the materials having higher adhesiveness than the bonding with the copper foil is obtained, and the peel strength can be highly increased.
[0020]
Thus, the IC module 1 for a composite IC card of the present invention has the antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 having a unique structure, so that it can be connected to the antenna coil in the IC card base with high strength.
[0021]
Such a composite IC module is manufactured by first preparing the IC module printed circuit board 8. This is manufactured by using a substrate in which through holes (holes) are formed in advance at each position of the substrate-side pad 26 of the insulating base material. As the insulating substrate, for example, a glass epoxy film, a polyester film, a polyimide film, a bismaleide-triazine resin film or the like having a thickness of about 75 to 100 μm and a thermosetting adhesive sheet are used.
[0022]
After a through hole (hole) is formed at a predetermined position, a copper foil is bonded and integrated on both surfaces of the insulating base material by heat press. This is patterned by forming the front-side terminal groups (C1 to C8) and the rear-side antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 by a normal photoetching method.
[0023]
The patterning of the antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 is performed at the same time as the photoetching that leaves a predetermined terminal plate shape with respect to the copper foil 8c on the back surface, or in a separate process. A photo-etching process is performed to make the surface a necessary lattice shape or corrugated shape. For this, a photomask pattern having a predetermined shape is used.
After the resist is peeled off, nickel plating and gold plating are performed on the front-side terminal group and the antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 on the back side using the remaining copper foil layer as an electrode.
[0024]
The IC chip 3 for the composite IC card is die-bonded to the printed circuit board 8 with an epoxy die adhesive, and between each connection terminal (pad) of the IC chip 3 and each pad (hole) 26 on the board side and between the circuits 241 and 251. Wire bonding is performed.
Finally, the IC chip 3 and the bonding wire 27 are resin-molded by a transfer molding method, a casting method, or the like, and the back surface side is polished and the thickness is adjusted as necessary to complete the composite IC module 1.
[0025]
【Example】
Examples of the present invention and comparative examples will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG.
(Example)
As the printed circuit board 8 for the composite IC module 1, a glass epoxy material 8b having a thickness of 100 μm and a surface-side copper foil 8a having a thickness of 35 μm and a back-side copper foil 8c having a thickness of 70 μm stacked thereon were used. As the glass epoxy material 8b, a wire bonding substrate side pad 26 having a necessary number of holes perforated in advance was used.
On the printed circuit board 8, the front side terminal plate, the rear side antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25, and the circuits 241 and 251 were formed by a photoetching process.
The size of the antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25 is L = 3.0 mm × W = 2.0 mm, and each antenna connection terminal plate 24 and 25 has a width of 200 μm as shown in FIG. Six recesses 9 each having a length of 600 μm are arranged at intervals of 200 μm, and these are arranged in two rows. The depth of the concave hole 9 was set to a depth reaching the glass epoxy material 8b.
As a result, the terminal board had a lattice-like planar appearance as shown in FIG.
[0026]
After etching, nickel plating of 2 μm and gold plating of 0.2 μm were applied to the front and back copper foils.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1, a total of seven bonding wires, five bonding wires connected to the surface side contact terminals (wire bonding substrate side pads 26) and two bonding wires connected to the non-contact communication function units A1, A2, are driven. Finally, the IC chip 3 and the wire part were sealed with resin to complete the composite IC module 1.
[0027]
(Comparative example)
As the printed circuit board 8, a glass epoxy material 8b having a thickness of 100 μm and a surface-side copper foil 8a having a thickness of 35 μm were the same as those in the example, but a copper foil having a thickness of 35 μm was used as the back-side copper foil 8c.
On this printed circuit board 8, the front-side terminal board, the rear-side antenna connection terminal boards 24 and 25, and the circuits 241 and 251 are formed in a photoetching process under the same conditions as in the embodiment, and the antenna connection terminal board The sizes 24 and 25 were formed so that L = 3.0 mm × W = 2.0 mm. However, the concave holes 9 were not provided in the antenna connection terminal plates 24 and 25, and the flat copper foil was used (FIG. 3).
Thereafter, in the same manner as in the example, the composite IC module of the comparative example was completed by wire connection and resin sealing.
[0028]
Using conductive paste (“LAC300D” manufactured by Panasonic Factory Solutions) as the conductive adhesive 6, each of the composite IC modules of the example and the comparative example is placed on the IC card substrate in which the antenna coil is embedded in the IC module. The embedding recess 5 was excavated and then mounted (see FIG. 8).
[0029]
After mounting the composite IC module, a comparative test of the durability of the IC card was performed.
In the test, a “bending test (a total of 1000 dynamic bending tests)” based on ISO 7816-1 was performed.
As a result, in the comparative example, two of the ten conductive pastes were peeled off, but in the examples, the whole number was not peeled off.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the composite IC module of the present invention has a plurality of concave holes reaching the insulating layer of the printed circuit board on the surface of the terminal board for antenna connection. The communication reliability of the IC card can be increased.
