Abstract

A method for making integrated circuits electrically connected to conductive coil elements includes placing integrated circuits in recesses provided at precise locations along a foil carrier web and positioning coils also at designated locations on the foil web so that a coil is associated with each integrated circuit. The web is then cut to produce a planar coil electrically connected to an integrated circuit on a foil element. The integrated circuit and coils may be coated with a casting compound and the coils may be formed using various procedures, including pressing coils into the surface of the foil, sewing the coils to the foil and electrostatically forming the coils on the foil with fusion of the coil material directly onto the foil. Apparatus for carrying out the aforesaid process, including winding of the coils, is described.
