1. A radio frequency tag apparatus comprising:
- a semiconductor comprising logic and a first and a second connection coupled to the logic;
a first wire having a bound end connected to the first connection by a wire bond connection, and the first wire having an unconnected end;
a second wire having a bound end connected to the second connection by a wire bond connection, and the second wire having an unconnected end; and
the first and second wire interacting with the logic of the semiconductor as an antenna.

Abstract
The invention is a radiofrequency identification tag comprising a semiconductor chip having radio frequency, logic, and memory circuits, and an antenna that are mounted on a substrate. The antenna may be used by the chip to modulate an incident RF signal to transfer information to a base station. The antenna comprises one or more lengths of thin wire that are connected directly to the chip by means of wire bonding. The chip and antenna combination are sealed with an organic film covering.
