Abstract:
A dual interface smart card having a metal layer includes an SC module, with contacts and RF capability, mounted on a plug, formed of non RF impeding material, between the top and bottom surfaces of the metal layer. The plug provides support for the IC module and a degree of electrical insulation and isolation from the metal layer. The resultant card can have contact and contactless operating capability and an entirely smooth external metal surface except for the contacts of the IC module.

Claim (Index 23):
A card having a card length, a card width, and a card thickness, the card comprising:\n a metal layer having a top surface and a bottom surface extending parallel to each other; an opening in said metal layer (a) extending from said top surface to said bottom surface or (b) defined by a first region cut out region in said top surface of said metal layer and a second cut out region extending from said bottom surface of said metal layer and extending vertically below the first cut out region and generally in a symmetrical manner with respect to the first cut out region; an integrated circuit (IC) module having a depth D 1 , a length L 1  and a width W 1  disposed within the opening or the first cut out region, the IC module having contacts positioned along the top surface of the metal layer and configured to communicate using RF transmission to enable contactless operation; a plug formed of non-RF-impeding material disposed within said opening or said second cut out region, the plug, having lateral dimensions of L 2 , which is equal to or greater than L 1 , and W 2 , which is equal to or greater than W 1 ; a ferrite layer disposed below the metal layer; a vertical hole formed in the plug and through the ferrite layer, the vertical hole having lateral dimensions L 3  and W 3 , which lateral dimensions are less than the respective lateral dimensions L 1  and W 1 .
