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 the substrate for receiving the transponder chip;
mounting the antenna wire to a surface of a substrate so that two end portions of the antenna wire span the recess;
disposing the transponder chip into the recess, past the end portions of the antenna wire;
after disposing the transponder chip between the end portions of the antenna wire, rotating the transponder chip so that terminals of the transponder chip are in alignment with corresponding ones of the end portions of the antenna wire, for bonding thereto.

Abstract
An antenna wire (210, 260, 310, 410, 510, 610, 710) is mounted to a substrate (204, 254, 304, 404, 504, 604, 704) so that end portions (210a/b, 260a/b, 310a/b, 410a/b, 510a/b, 610a/b, 710a/b) of the wire are spaced far enough apart for a transponder chip (208, 250, 308, 408, 508, 608, 708) to be positioned therebetween, such as into a recess (206, 256, 306, 406, 506, 606, 706) in the substrate. The end portions are left unmounted, as “wire bridges”, “jump loops”, or “flat loops”. The end portions may be re-positioned to be over the terminals (208a/b, 258a/b, 308a/b, 408a/b, 508a/b, 608a/b, 708a/b) of the chip for bonding. Or, the chip (or substrate) may be moved (such as side-to-side, or rotated) so that the chip'"'"'s terminals are under the end portions of the wire for bonding. Insulation may be removed from the end portions of the wire prior to bonding.

10. 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; disposing the chip in the recess, between the two end portions of the antenna wire; and imparting at least one relative motion between the chip and the substrate so that a first terminal of the chip is positioned under a first of the two end portions of the wire for bonding thereto and so that a second terminal of the chip is positioned under a second of the two end portions of the wire for bonding thereto; wherein; the relative motion is imparted by moving the chip relative to a stationary substrate. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. Method of preparing a transponder site comprising:
-
providing an inlay substrate; providing a recess for receiving a chip module in a surface of the inlay substrate; mounting an antenna wire to the surface of the inlay substrate with two end portions of the antenna wire spanning the recess; inserting a chip module having two terminals into the recess, from the same side of the substrate as the antenna, past the end portions of the antenna wires; and rotating the chip module in the recess so that the terminals of the chip module are in alignment with corresponding ones of the end portions of the antenna wire, for bonding thereto. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
