Abstract
Abstract An IC card module includes a substrate one side of which is provided with a connection terminal; and a resin-sealed semiconductor IC which has been previously sealed by a resin. This connection terminal and the resin-sealed semiconductor IC are electrically connected to each other and are covered with a molding resin. Accordingly, reliable modules can be efficiently manufactured and readily mounted on IC card substrates.
