    Interposer-based smartcard system with active wireless communication
    ( 2017) ; ;
    Böttcher, Mathias
    The trend to integrate more and more functionality into smaller and smaller devices is still ongoing. Most smart systems are communicating wireless, while non-stationary systems require an integrated power supply. This paper presents a system, which is integrated into a standardized smartcard format and is capable of active wireless transmission and can be used for location detection, ranging, localization or access control. The dimension of an ISO 7816 ID-1 smartcard, which is the most common used smartcard, is about 86 by 54 mm. Integrating a smart system on this dimensions is not an problem. But the maximal height of a smartcard is only 0.76 millimeters. So integrating functionality by using multiple components is still an issue.

    3D integration - as a key technology - is of high significance for the realization of future innovative products. With its outstanding competencies in the fields of technology, design and reliability, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft offers an excellent base and prerequisite for the market-oriented implementation of 3D integration for the industry in Germany, Europe and worldwide. To meet the complexity of this technological approach, the Fraunhofer institutes IZM, ENAS, IISEAS, IKTS cluster their competencies in a network to cover a broad spectrum of topics related to 3D integration. This supports the strengthening of Germany as a center of innovation and economy and its leading role as a driver for innovative products in the field of microelectronic system integration. The presentation will show the complex correlation of the different aspects of 3D integration and demonstrate the synergies that are met by the new Fraunhofer cluster and that enable the positioning as a competent and broad project, technology and service partner for industrial clients.
