Abstract:
1. A method for forming a medium comprising the steps of: forming a substrate having a patterned surface with a channel pattern thereon; providing a transponder having a memory in the channel pattern; depositing a conductive material in the channel pattern with the conductive material operatively associated with the transponder; applying an overcoat to the patterned surface, the overcoat layer having a bottom surface in contact with the patterned surface of the substrate and a top surface having an overcoat channel pattern formed therein; and depositing a conductive material in the overcoat channel pattern, wherein the overcoat comprises at least one contact aperture between the conductive material in the channel pattern on the substrate and the conductive material of the overcoat channel pattern whereby conductive material in the channel pattern on the substrate can electrically engage conductive material from the overcoat channel pattern.
