The insulating sheet (dielectric layer) 130 is selected depending on the purpose of use of the data carrier device, but is a hard vinyl chloride sheet or polyester that is insulative and also functions as a dielectric layer for forming a capacitor. A sheet (PET) or a polyimide or glass epoxy resin sheet is used.
The thickness of the insulating sheet 130 is about 20 to 150 μm, preferably about 25 to 100 μm.

In order to efficiently perform electromagnetic coupling with the coil on the semiconductor chip of the coil-on-chip type data carrier semiconductor chip 150, the square detours 111a and 121a overlap each other.
In the case of this example, the antenna coil portions of both wiring layers have the same shape and size, and the antenna coil portions of both wiring layers are overlapped with each other except for the square detour portions 111a and 121a. Except for the detour portions 111a and 121a, the antenna coil portions of the two wiring layers do not necessarily coincide and overlap, and one of them may be interpolated or extrapolated to the other.
The coil winding direction is adjusted so that the magnetic fluxes do not cancel each other with respect to the antenna coil 111 of the first antenna coil wiring layer 110 and the antenna coil of the second antenna coil wiring layer 120.
Next, the 1st example of embodiment of the wiring member for booster antenna parts of this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.

And the first antenna coil 111 and the second antenna coil 121 are capacitively coupled in series at one end thereof, and at the other end through an insulating sheet (dielectric layer) 130. This is a wiring member for a booster antenna part for the IC tag shown in FIG. 1A, in which a planar conductor part is brought into contact by caulking and both wiring layers are electrically connected directly.
This is a wiring member for a booster antenna part for a non-contact type IC tag that forms a booster antenna part that is a primary coil for electromagnetic coupling with a coil-on-chip semiconductor chip for a data carrier as a secondary coil. .
As shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, each of the antenna coil wiring layers 110 and 120 includes coil wiring portions 111 and 121 that circulate on one plane to form an antenna coil, and coil wirings, respectively. The planar conductor portions 116 and 126 are connected to the ends of the portions 111 and 121, and the planar conductor portions 117 and 127 are provided outside the antenna coil along the antenna coil surface. .
The coil wiring portions 111 and 121 are arranged on one peripheral portion of the coil-on-chip data carrier semiconductor chip so as to be electromagnetically coupled to the secondary coil when the non-contact type data carrier device is manufactured. Substantially rectangular detours 111a and 121a are provided along the outer shape of the next coil.

The schematic configuration of the circuit of the booster antenna unit of this example is as shown in FIG.
As in the case of the IC tag shown in FIG. 1A, capacitance portions (corresponding to C1 and C2 in FIG. 2) are formed between the planar conductor portions 116 and 126 of both wiring layers 110 and 120, The first antenna coil 111 and the second antenna coil 121 are capacitively coupled in series at one end thereof to form an LC resonance circuit for communication with an external circuit.
A caulking connection portion 180 is formed by caulking between the planar conductor portions 117 and 127.
The planar conductor portion 126 of the second antenna coil wiring layer of the booster antenna portion wiring member shown in FIG. 3 (c) is formed with a notch portion 126a having a through hole in the cut portion. This enables wavelength adjustment (tuning).
The notch portion 126a is cut from the end portion at this portion, and when adjusting the capacitor capacity, the cutout portion 126a can be easily cut and can be used as a reference for the unit adjustment amount.
In this example, the planar conductor portions 116, 117, and 127 are not provided with notches, but of course, these may be provided with notches.
This makes it possible to finely adjust the resonance wavelength shift caused by the variation in raw material lots and the difference in manufacturing conditions.
As a notch part, what provided only the through-hole part and the half etching part other than what provided the through-hole part in the cut part, and what provided only the half etching are mentioned.
Further, in FIG. 3B, a circular alignment mark 118 is provided. However, when mounting a semiconductor chip, for example, when mounting by a mounting device such as a flip chip bonder, the chip is mounted.
