Abstract

Improved methods for fabricating smart cards are disclosed. Semiconductor die approximately 0.004 to 0.007 inches thick are fabricated using chemical stress relief processes and UV dicing tape. The die are positioned substantially on the neutral axis of a smart card, thereby providing smart cards having improved resistance to mechanical flexure.
