Abstract:
A dual interface smart card, and methods for the manufacture thereof, having a metal layer, an IC module, with contacts and RF capability, and a plug formed of non RF impeding material, disposed in the metal layer. The plug provides support for the IC module and a degree of electrical insulation and isolation from the metal layer. Embodiments of the card include at least one additional layer.

Claim (Index 33):
A method of making a smart card having a dual interface integrated circuit (IC) module having contacts, said IC module having a thickness and a perimeter, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing a metal layer having a first surface and a second surface; forming a plug region extending from the second surface of the metal layer and having a perimeter equal to or larger than the perimeter of the IC module; disposing a plug comprising non-RF-impeding material within said plug region; forming a module region in said metal layer extending from the first surface to said plug region, said module region having a depth and perimeter configured to receive the IC module; and inserting said IC module within said module region and securely attaching said IC module to said plug.
