Ordering Information
For Package And Delivery
INTRODUCTION
The manufacturing process of Smartcards involves various components and technologies in
order to issue a finished product:
– micromodules,
– flat packages,
– wafers.
■ MICROMODULES
Dedicated package for Smartcard products, the
micromodule type depends on the size of the
product and on the application.
Table 1 lists all available micromodules.
■ FLAT PACKAGES
For applications which require surface mount technology, suitable for PC cards, or other security
modules, STMicroelectronics offers flat packages
listed In Table 2.
■ WAFERS
For issuer production need, ST offers sawn and
unsawn wafers deliveries, listed in Table 3.

Figure 2. Sawing orientation
Sawn wafers are scribed an d m ount ed in a frame
on adhesive tape. The orientation is defined by the
position of the GND pad on the die, viewed with
active area of product visible, relative to the notches of the frame (as shown in Figure 2). The orientation of the die with respect t o the plastic frame
notches is specified by the Customer.
One further concern, when specify ing devices to
be delivered in this form, is that wafers mounted
on adhesive tape must be used within a limited period from the mounting date:
– two months, if wafers a re stored at 25°C, 55%
relative h umidity
– six months, if wafers are stored at 4°C, 55% rel-
ative humidity
