Abstract:
A microelectronic assembly comprising:a polymeric card including a planar major surface and formed of a singular injection molded polymeric body;an integrated circuit component embedded in the polymeric card and having a first contact and a second contact;an antenna element formed of a singular metallic strip and comprising a loop, a first terminal, a first antenna segment integrally connecting the first terminal and the loop disposed at a non-parallel angle relative to the planar major surface, a second terminal, a second antenna segment integrally connecting the second terminal and the loop and disposed at a non-parallel angle relative to the planar major surface, said first segment and said second segment positioning the loop such that the loop is spaced apart from the planar major surface and such that the polymeric card encircles the loop, the first terminal and the second terminal having outer surfaces exposed at the planar major surface and coextensive therewith;a first connection connecting the first contact and the first terminal; anda second connection connecting the second contact and the second terminal.
