DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information medium, and more particularly, to an IC used in the fields of office automation (OA), factory automation (FA), and security.
In an information medium typified by a card or the like, a contact type in which power is received and a signal is transmitted and received via electric contacts, and power supply and power reception and signal transmission and reception are performed by an electromagnetic coupling method.
The present invention relates to a composite IC card having both functions of a non-contact type in which a C card is provided in a non-contact state without providing electric contacts, and a method of manufacturing the same.

2. Description of the Related Art With the advent of an IC card having a built-in semiconductor memory or the like, the storage capacity has been dramatically increased as compared with a conventional magnetic card or the like, and an IC card having a built-in semiconductor integrated circuit device such as a microcomputer has been developed. By itself having an arithmetic processing function, it has become possible to impart high security to an information medium.

[0003] IC cards are internationally standardized by the so-called ISO. Generally, IC cards such as semiconductor memories are built in a card body made of plastic or the like, and an external read / write device is mounted on the card surface. A metal conductive terminal is provided for connection between the IC card and an external read / write device.
The card is inserted into a card slot of an external read / write device for use. This is advantageous in applications requiring certainty and security of communication such as mass data exchange and settlement business, for example, credit and electronic wallet applications.

On the other hand, in application to gate management such as entry and exit, authentication is the main communication content, and the amount of communication data is often small, so simpler processing is desired. A technology devised to solve this problem is a contactless IC card. This is a DC power source that provides a space for vibration energy such as high-frequency electromagnetic fields, ultrasonic waves, and light in space, absorbs and rectifies the energy, and drives an electronic circuit built in the card. The frequency of the component is used as it is or is multiplied or divided to provide an identification signal, and the identification signal is transmitted to the information processing circuit of the semiconductor element via a coupler such as an antenna coil or a capacitor.

[0005] In particular, many non-contact IC cards for the purpose of authentication and simple counting data processing are provided by wireless authentication (Ra) of hard logic without a battery and a CPU (central processing unit).
dioFrequency IDentification;
Called F-ID. With the advent of this non-contact IC card, the security against forgery and tampering is higher than that of a magnetic card, and at the time of passing through the gate, the card carrier approaches the antenna part of the read / write device attached to the gate device. Alternatively, the user simply has to touch the card carried by the user to the antenna portion of the read / write device, and the complexity of taking out the card from the case and inserting the card into the slot of the read / write device has been reduced.

In recent years, a composite card having a contact-type function having an external terminal and a non-contact-type function of exchanging data by wireless communication has been developed for the purpose of supporting a versatile application with one card. Type IC cards have been devised. It combines the advantages of both high security of contact type CPU processing and convenience of non-contact type CPU processing.

Generally, a complex IC card is mounted as follows. FIG. 8 shows the structure of a general composite IC card. An antenna substrate 5 having an antenna coil 6 made of metal foil for non-contact transmission formed by etching is sandwiched between card substrates 4 and laminated. Thereafter, a mounting hole of the IC module 2 is opened by a hollowing process or the like, and the card body 3 is manufactured. At this time, two antenna terminals 7 for connection between the antenna coil 6 of the antenna substrate 5 and the IC module 2 are exposed inside the IC module mounting hole 12 of the card body 3. One surface of the module substrate 9 of the IC module 2 has metal terminal electrodes 11 for connection to external devices.
Is formed, an IC chip 10 is mounted on the other surface, and a module terminal 8 for connection to an antenna coil is provided. A conductive adhesive is applied to the module terminals 8. Then, after the IC module is installed in the mounting hole of the card body so that the module terminal 8 of the IC module 2 to which the conductive adhesive is applied and the antenna terminal 7 of the card body overlap, heat and pressure are applied to the IC module. Are connected to the antenna terminal, and the mounting is completed.

[0008] Although such a mounting method is relatively clear in structure, heat and pressure are applied when the IC module and the card body are attached in the actual working process. There was a difficult part. Also,
It is difficult to confirm the state of the connection between the IC module and the antenna substrate after the card is completed, and it is not possible to grasp the connection strength and connection quality, which causes a problem in quality control. Furthermore, in actual use, due to the mechanical stress applied to various cards due to various ways of carrying the card user and differences in handling of the card, the module terminals of the module board and the card body side in the conventional mounting method Is directly connected to and bonded to the antenna terminal, so that the connection point is distorted due to the difference in stress generated between the card body and the IC module.

It functions as a connecting member for connection, and its size and shape are to enter the connecting member storage space inside the IC module mounting hole. Also, the tip of the part 18 on the flexible module side is an IC.
It has a connection part that is electrically connected to the chip.

With this configuration, as in the above-described embodiment, when connecting the IC module side and the card body side using a flexible connecting member, flexibility is given to the part 18 on the IC module side in advance. By providing a connection member having such a configuration, the connection on the IC module side is not required, and only the connection on the card body side is sufficient, so that the connection operation can be further facilitated.

It is not a difference.

Further, since this flexible connecting member is not bonded and fixed in the storage space inside the module mounting hole of the card body, the stress received on the IC module side by the external stress after the completion of the composite IC card is reduced. Even if distortion occurs due to the difference in stress received on the card body side, the distortion component can be absorbed by the connection member, and no load is applied to each connection terminal portion of the IC module / card body, resulting in electrical connection failure.
