Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide an integrated chip (IC) module having contact pads which are accessible by single-bond holes and module-side antenna contact pads which are accessible by multi-bond holes. Each multi-bond hole is apportioned by an encapsulation into adjoining bonding channels for separately receiving wire bond(s) and antenna-connecting element. Each module-side antenna contact pad is apportioned by the encapsulation into adjoining but electrically connected bonding areas to allow establishment of electrical connection of both wire bond(s) and antenna-connecting element to an IC chip. The first and the second bonding area are partitioned from each other, by the encapsulant, without requiring a presence of substrate therebetween.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit (IC) module for a smart card with both contact and contactless interfaces, the IC module comprising:\n a non-conductive substrate having a plurality of single-bond holes and a pair of multi-bond holes, both extending from a first to a second side of the substrate; a plurality of conductive contact pads, including a first pair thereof, arranged on the first side of the substrate; a first IC chip arranged on the second side of the substrate; a plurality of first conductive elements traversing the single-bond and the pair of multi-bond holes, and electrically connecting at least some of the contact pads to the first IC chip, wherein the first conductive elements include a first pair of first conductive elements respectively traversing the pair of multi-bond holes and electrically connecting the first pair of contact pads to the first IC chip; and an encapsulant deposited on the first IC chip, the first conductive elements and the first pair of contact pads, wherein an edge of the encapsulant deposited on the first pair of contact pads apportions each of the pair of multi-bond holes into an encapsulated first bonding channel and an adjoining unencapsulated second bonding channel respectively terminating at a first and an adjoining second bonding area on each of the first pair of contact pads such that the first pair of first conductive elements respectively traverse the first bonding channel of the pair of multi-bond holes and further such that the encapsulant seals the first bonding area and exposes the second bonding area through the second bonding channel to provide a surface for establishing electrical connection to the first IC chip, wherein the encapsulant partitions the first and the second bonding area from each other without requiring a presence of the substrate therebetween.
