Abstract:
A method of mounting a microcircuit in a cavity in a card forming a support, the cavity being delimited by a bottom having a periphery and a side wall surrounding the bottom and extending upwardly from the periphery, in which method a module comprising a connecting board carrying a non-encapsulated microcircuit is formed and fixed to said card so that said non-encapsulated microcircuit is housed in said cavity, said fixing of said module including completely embedding said non-encapsulated microcircuit into a quantity of hardenable coating material deposited on the bottom of said cavity and adhering thereto, and hardening said coating material, the quantity of hardenable coating material being selected to cause the coating material, after having been hardened, to cover a first portion of the cavity bottom that is spaced from the periphery so that a second portion of the cavity bottom adjacent the periphery is not covered by the hardened coating material, thereby providing a compressible annular area in said cavity adjacent the periphery, which area completely surrounds said coating material and extends from the bottom of said cavity around a continuous peripheral area of said bottom of said cavity.
