a2) United States Patent
Abstract
A combination inductive coil and integrated circuit semi- conductor chip is provided in a single lead frame package. The lead frame is preferably made of a copper alloy and has a flat configuration. The chip is electrically connected to end portions of the inductive coil thus permitting the inductive coil to function as an antenna for the chip. 20 Claims, 2 Drawing Sheets 12 14 LI a a DS 20
