Abstract
Abstract An IC card includes a substrate, semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of the major surfaces of the substrate and a casing in which the substrate with the semiconductor devices mounted on it is housed. The casing includes a frame and panels bonded to the frame on the opposite sides of the frame by means of adhesive layers. The semiconductor devices are prevented from being bonded to the panel via the adhesive layers at locations on the adhesive layers facing the semiconductor devices.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
An IC card comprising a substrate having two opposing major surfaces, a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of said major surfaces of said substrate, and a casing housing said substrate with said semiconductor devices mounted thereon, said casing comprising a frame having opposed sides, opposed front and rear ends, an electrical connector disposed at the front end, two panels, each panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, and an adhesive layer disposed over the inside surface of each of said panels, each of the adhesive layers bonding one of said panels to respective opposite sides of said frame including adhesion preventing means for preventing only those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end from adhering to said adhesive layers, said adhesion preventing means being disposed between said panels and those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end whereby forces bending said IC card are not transmitted to those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end adjacent to said adhesion preventing means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
167 words
An IC card comprising a substrate having two opposing major surfaces, a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of said major surfaces of said substrate, and a casing housing said substrate with said semiconductor devices mounted thereon, said casing comprising a frame having opposed sides, opposed front and rear ends, an electrical connector disposed at the front end, two panels, each panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, and an adhesive layer disposed over the inside surface of each of said panels, each of the adhesive layers bonding one of said panels to respective opposite sides of said frame including adhesion preventing means for preventing only those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end from adhering to said adhesive layers, said adhesion preventing means being disposed between said panels and those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end whereby forces bending said IC card are not transmitted to those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end adjacent to said adhesion preventing means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
An IC card according to claim 1 wherein semiconductor devices are mounted on both of the major surfaces of said substrate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
178 words
An IC card having opposed front and rear ends comprising a substrate having two opposing major surfaces, a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of said major surfaces of said substrate, an electrical connector disposed at the front end of said IC card, and a casing housing said substrate with said semiconductor devices mounted thereon, said casing comprising a frame having opposed sides, two panels, each panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, and an adhesive layer disposed over the inside surface of each of said panels, the adhesive layers bonding said panels to respective opposite sides of said frame and including adhesion preventing sheets for preventing at least some of said semiconductor devices from adhering to said adhesive layers, said sheets being bonded to said adhesive layers only at those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end of said IC card and disposed in contact with at least some of said semiconductor devices whereby forces bending said IC card are not transmitted to said semiconductor devices adjacent to said adhesion preventing sheets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
178 words
An IC card having opposed front and rear ends comprising a substrate having two opposing major surfaces, a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of said major surfaces of said substrate, an electrical connector disposed at the front end of said IC card, and a casing housing said substrate with said semiconductor devices mounted thereon, said casing comprising a frame having opposed sides, two panels, each panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, and an adhesive layer disposed over the inside surface of each of said panels, the adhesive layers bonding said panels to respective opposite sides of said frame and including adhesion preventing sheets for preventing at least some of said semiconductor devices from adhering to said adhesive layers, said sheets being bonded to said adhesive layers only at those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end of said IC card and disposed in contact with at least some of said semiconductor devices whereby forces bending said IC card are not transmitted to said semiconductor devices adjacent to said adhesion preventing sheets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
An IC card according to claim 3 wherein semiconductor devices are mounted on both of the major surfaces of said substrate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
164 words
An IC card comprising a substrate having two opposing major surfaces, a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of said major surfaces of said substrate, and a casing housing said substrate with said semiconductor devices mounted thereon, said casing comprising a frame having opposed sides, opposed front and rear ends, an electrical connector disposed at the front end, two panels, each panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, and an adhesive layer disposed over the inside surface of each of said panels, the adhesive layers bonding said panels to respective opposite sides of said frame including openings in said adhesive layers for preventing only those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end from adhering to said adhesive layers, said openings being formed in said adhesive layers opposite those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end whereby forces bending said IC card are not transmitted to those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end adjacent to said adhesion preventing openings.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
164 words
An IC card comprising a substrate having two opposing major surfaces, a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on at least one of said major surfaces of said substrate, and a casing housing said substrate with said semiconductor devices mounted thereon, said casing comprising a frame having opposed sides, opposed front and rear ends, an electrical connector disposed at the front end, two panels, each panel having an inside surface and an outside surface, and an adhesive layer disposed over the inside surface of each of said panels, the adhesive layers bonding said panels to respective opposite sides of said frame including openings in said adhesive layers for preventing only those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end from adhering to said adhesive layers, said openings being formed in said adhesive layers opposite those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end whereby forces bending said IC card are not transmitted to those semiconductor devices mounted proximate the rear end adjacent to said adhesion preventing openings.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
