DESCRIPTION
Memory Cards consist of two main parts: the
plastic card, and the embedded Micromodule
(which, in turn, carries the silicon chip).
The plastic card is made of PVC, ABS or similar
material, and can be over-printed with graphics,
text, and magnetic strips. The Micromodule is
embedded in a cavity in the plastic card.
The Micromodules are mounted on Super 35 mm
metallized epoxy tape, and are delivered on reels.
These contain all of the chips from a number of
wafers, including those chips that were found to be
non-functioning during testing. Traceability is
ensured by a label fixed on the reel.
