Claim:
A method for the production of a chip module, the method comprising the steps of: providing a web or sheet aluminum/adhesive laminate consisting of an aluminum foil layer having a thickness of 1 μm to 20 μm glued onto an upper face of a support layer whose lower face is adhered to a strippable sheet, first cutting out an inner perimeter of the coupling antenna with a cut that goes through all the layers of the adhesive laminate to form an inner punched-out scrap and thereafter removing the punched-out inner scrap, subsequently, subdividing out the contact location for an RFID chip by a cut that extends through the aluminum foil and the adhesive film that lies underneath it, and cutting out an outer perimeter of the coupling antenna by a cut that is made without cutting through the strippable sheet to form an outer punched-out scrap, thereafter, removing the outer punched-out scrap; and mounting the RFID chip on the laminate in electrical connection with the foil layer.
