Patent ID: 8603863

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a card provided with a module, an adhesive layer covering the module, and a first base material and a second base material sandwiching the module with interposition of the adhesive layer, comprising: a viscosity agent placement step of placing a viscosity agent onto one surface of the first base material by applying or pasting; an adhesive agent application step of applying an adhesive agent to constitute the adhesive layer onto the one surface of the first base material; a module placement step of placing the module onto the one surface of the first base material with interposition of the viscosity agent, at least after the viscosity agent placement step; a second base material placement step of placing the second base material so that the first and second base materials sandwich the module, the viscosity agent, and the adhesive agent, after the adhesive agent application step and the module placement step; and a pressurization step of pressurizing the first and second base materials from an outside thereof in a thickness direction thereof, and moving a portion which is pressurized in a pressurization-movement direction from one edge of the first base material and the second base material to one other edge opposite to the one edge so that the adhesive agent flows so as to be extended in the pressurization-movement direction, after the second base material placement step, wherein the viscosity agent is formed so as to have at least a narrower tip than other portions when seen from the outside of the first base material, and disposed on the first base material so that the tip is directed in the pressurization-movement direction, in the viscosity agent placement step.
