Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a card having no difference in rigidity between an IC chip arrangement part and the other parts and hardly generating the convergence of bending stress, by using a metal substrate having the same size as a card size. CONSTITUTION:An IC module 1 connects an IC chip 2 to a metal substrate 5 having a core of a low-magnetizable metal, and the connection part and the IC chip 2 are sealed and protected with a sealing resin 3. On the surface of the metal substrate 5 on the reverse side to the IC chip 2 mounted, an external input terminal electrically connected by a through hole is formed. This metal substrate 5 is made to have approximately the same shape as a card shape and laminated to a card substrate 4 of a low-magnetizable metal through an adhesive 10 to be a high-rigidity laminated body; in this structure, the covergence of bending stress on the arrangement part of the IC chip 2 is prevented, and a resistance to bending can be obtained.

The structure of a conventional card with a built-in IC chip is such that an electrode pattern 7 serving as an external connection terminal and a circuit pattern connected to the electrode of the IC chip are formed on a glass epoxy film substrate, a polyimide film substrate, a polyester film substrate, etc. The terminal surface and the 7th surface of the circuit pattern are made to have 4 through holes, and one or more IC chips are mounted on the core substrate by die bonding, wire bonding, face bonding, etc. and sealed with resin. A common structure is that the module is embedded in a recess of a card base material using a laminate of hard vinyl chloride and heat-resistant polyester, and the front and back sides are laminated with an oversheet made of transparent vinyl chloride or the like.

However, with the above-mentioned conventional technology, due to the combination of magnetic recording media, external connection terminals, embossing, etc., and the number of IC chips, consideration must be given to stress mitigation against card bending. This poses a problem in that it is not possible to prevent failures due to stress applied to the IC module. The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide an IC card that is resistant to bending of the card.

The structure of the IC card of the present invention is that external connection terminals are formed on one side of a metal substrate with a core made of a weakly magnetic metal.
An IC module is used in which an IC chip is arranged and connected to the circuit pattern on the other side, and the external size of the IC module is the same as the card size, thereby increasing the rigidity of the IC module itself and making the rigidity of the entire card uniform. This prevents stress from concentrating on a specific area, and by laminating it with a card base material made of a metal with low magnetism, the overall rigidity of the card is increased and the card is resistant to bending. can be obtained.

Further, since the IC module portion also serves as the card base material, the thickness of the metal plate can be increased, and the card is characterized in that it has a higher rigidity.

External input/output terminals are formed on the opposite surface on which the C chip 2 is mounted and are electrically connected by through holes. The metal substrate 5 has almost the same shape as the card, and is laminated with a card base material 4 made of metal with low magnetism and an adhesive 10 to form a highly rigid laminate.
The structure prevents concentration of bending stress on the portion where the chip 2 is arranged and is resistant to bending. Incidentally, a hardening type adhesive is used as the adhesive here to further increase the rigidity.

As described above, according to the present invention, by using a metal substrate and making the substrate size card-sized, the difference in rigidity between the IC chip placement area and other parts is small, and bending stress is prevented from concentrating. A card is obtained, and a metal plate is also used as the card base material to form a laminate, and since the metal board itself serves as the card base material, the thickness of the metal plate can be increased (thicker), making it more rigid. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a card that does not easily bend when bent, and since gold rI4 uses a metal with weak magnetism, it has the advantage that it can also be used in combination with a magnetic recording medium.
