Abstract

The invention relates to a method of connecting micro-chip modules to antennas arranged on a first carrier tape for the manufacture of transponders. The method is characterised in that the micro-chips are packaged in a preceding bonding process to form a chip module with electrical terminals and are applied to a second carrier tape. The two carrier tapes are wound off a reel and brought one above the other, whereby the chip modules are removed from the second carrier tape and placed at a predetermined point on the first carrier tape. This method facilitates a continuous manufacturing process which is particularly economical and particularly fast.
