Abstract

Abstract In an electronic memory card an IC pellet has a number of electrode pads which are provided on one surface thereof and have a size larger than that of bonding terminals formed in the IC pellet. The IC pellet is received in a storage section of an upper inner core and is adhered on a wiring substrate by an anisotropic conductive adhesive tape. Thus, internal connecting terminals formed on the substrate are electrically connected through portions of the conductive tape to the electrode pads. The wiring substrate is mounted on a lower inner core and is received in a storage section of an intermediate inner core. Films are formed on the multi film structure of the inner core and wiring substrate and contact terminals are so provided in the film and inner core as to be connected to the internal connecting terminals.
