The structure of a conventional card with a built-in IC chip consists of a glass epoxy film substrate, a polyimide film substrate, a polyester film substrate, etc., in which an electrode pattern to be an external connection terminal and a circuit pattern to be connected to the electrode of the IC chip are formed. The surface and the circuit pattern surface are made conductive by through-hole processing, and one or more ICs are placed on the core substrate.
An IC module in which the chip is mounted by die bonding and wire bonding or face bonding and sealed with resin is made of hard vinyl chloride,
In general, a card base using a heat-resistant polyester laminate is buried in a concave portion of a card base material, and the front and back sides are laminated with an oversheet made of transparent vinyl chloride or the like.

Further, since the card base material is a resin and the card thickness is thin, there is a great risk that a failure will occur particularly in the bending property. Therefore, consideration must be given to the location of the IC chip on the card (located at the corner of the card to reduce stress) and the direction of the IC chip (the longitudinal direction of the IC chip is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the card). It was a structure that did.

FIG. 1 is a main cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention. An IC module 1 has an IC chip 2 on a metal substrate 5 having a core of a weak magnetic material which does not affect a magnetic recording medium.
And the connection portion and the IC chip 2 are sealed and protected by the sealing resin 3. The metal substrate 5 is electrically connected to the surface on the opposite side of the IC chip 2 through a through hole. External input / output terminals are formed. The metal substrate 5 has substantially the same shape as the card, and is laminated with a card base material 4 made of a metal having weak magnetic properties and an adhesive 10 to form a highly rigid laminate.
The structure prevents bending stress from concentrating on the portion where is arranged, and has a structure that is difficult to bend against bending. Here, a hardening type adhesive is used for the adhesive to further increase the rigidity.

The card substrate 4 shown in the figure is divided by the thickness of the sealing resin 3 of the IC chip 2, and the adhesive 10 is reduced to two layers as two metal plates.
As a laminate of two metal plates, it has a structure with even higher rigidity.

As described above, according to the present invention, by using a metal substrate and setting the substrate size to the card size, there is little difference in rigidity between the IC chip disposition portion and other portions, and a card in which bending stress is less likely to concentrate. It is also possible to obtain a laminated body by lamination using a metal plate also for the card base material, and to increase the thickness of the metal plate for the metal substrate itself to also serve as the card base material, to provide a more rigid, It is possible to obtain a card that is hard to bend, and has an effect that it can be used in combination with a magnetic recording body since a metal having weak magnetic properties is used for the metal plate.
