Patent ID: 10783337

Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) chip card includes a card body and an integrated IC chip module located in a recess provided by the card body on one side thereof. The IC chip module includes a substrate having outward-facing and inward-facing surfaces, and a first plurality of contact pads supportably interconnected to the outward-facing surface of the substrate. The IC chip module further includes a first IC chip supportably interconnected to the inward-facing surface of the substrate and electrically interconnected to the first plurality of contact pads for processing a signal received therefrom. The IC chip module may also include a second plurality of contact pads supportably interconnected to the outward-facing surface of the substrate. The IC chip module may further include conductive protrusions supportably connected to the inward-facing surface and having protruding ends that extend in to a thickness of corresponding embedded conductive contacts of the card body.
