Substrate for smart card modules applicable to both wire bonding and flip chip, and the smart card modules including them

摘要

A substrate, a smart card module having the substrate and methods for fabricating the same are provided. A substrate having metal patterns formed on both sides and applicable to both wire bonding and flip chip bonding, a smart card module having the same and methods of fabricating the same are also provided. The substrate may include an insulating layer, an upper metal pattern, a bottom metal pattern, a first plating layer, a second plating layer and a substrate. The insulating layer may have a plurality of via holes. The upper metal pattern may be formed on the insulating layer and side surfaces of the plurality of via holes. The bottom metal pattern may be formed on the bottom of the insulating layer and electrically connected to the upper metal pattern. The first plating layer may be formed on the upper metal pattern and the upper surface of the bottom metal pattern. The second plating layer may be formed on the bottom of the bottom metal pattern. The substrate may include contact holes having side surfaces of the plurality of via holes covered by the upper metal pattern and the first plating layer. The bottom surface of the insulating layer may be supported by the bottom metal pattern and the first plating layer.
