Abstract

An IC card includes a thin plate forming an external surface of the card, a circuit board formed on an internal surface of the thin plate, and a frame surrounding peripheries of the thin plate and the circuit board. A space defined by the frame and the surface plate is filled with molded resin. A portion of an inner peripheral surface of the frame projects into the resin. The molded resin completely covers a surface of the circuit board and integrates the frame and the thin plate.
