Ic card and a method of manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. A method of fabricating an IC card characterized in comprising the following steps:
- (a) a step of preparing a card board having a plurality of card regions and printed with first information at a first main face of each of a plurality of card regions, a second main face on an opposed side thereof or the two main faces;
(b) a step of forming a recess portion at the first main face of each of the plurality of card regions;
(c) a step of forming a recess portion at the second main face of each of the plurality of card regions;
(d) a step of cutting out each of the plurality of card regions from the card board;
(e) a step of fixing an IC portion including an IC chip having a memory function, a calculating function, and a control function to the recess portion formed at the second main face of a cap portion of each of the plurality of card regions;
(f) a step of writing a desired data to the IC chip; and
(g) a step of forming an opening portion penetrating the first main face and the second main face of the card board at a portion of the card board at a surrounding of the cap portion such that the cap portion is held in a state of being hung by the card board by way of a connecting portion.

Abstract
An IC card 1CD includes a frame member portion 1CB1, and an IC card main body 15 held in a state of being hung by a connecting portion 1CB2 in a frame thereof. The IC card main body 15 is made to constitute a card type information medium having a high functional performance having both of a function as a so-to-speak IC card and a function as a so-to-speak memory card having a capacity larger than that of the IC card and a function higher than that of the IC card capable of executing a security processing. An outer shape of the IC card main body 15 is formed in compliance with RS-MMC outer shape standard. A surface of a cap portion 1CB3 of the IC card main body 15 is printed with a desired character, pattern, diagram and photograph or the like by a printing method used in steps of fabricating a general IC card, and the IC card 15 is provided with higher acknowledgement performance, security performance and outlook.
