METHODS OF CONNECTING AN ANTENNA TO A TRANSPONDER CHIP
First Claim
1. Method of connecting an antenna wire to a transponder chip comprising:
- providing a recess in a surface of a substrate;
mounting the antenna wire to the surface of the substrate so that two end portions of the antenna wire span the recess;
characterized by;
installing the transponder chip in the recess, past the end portions of the antenna wire; and
subsequently bonding the end portions of the antenna wire to corresponding terminals of the transponder chip.

Abstract
A transponder chip or chip module in a recess in a substrate, and an antenna wire mounted to the surface of the substrate and having end portions spanning the recess. The end portions are spaced wider than the chip, to allow the chip to be inserted into the recess from the same side as the antenna. The chip may be moved in the recess so that its terminals are under the wires, or the wires may be repositioned to be over the terminals, for bonding thereto. Prior to installing the chip in the recess, insulation may be removed from the end portions of the antenna wire, which may also be flattened to improve bonding.
