Electrical Circuit for a Smart Card Chip Module, Smart Card Chip Module and Method for Manufacturing a Smart Card Chip Module

Method for manufacturing a chip module, comprising:

• providing an insulating layer having a front main face and a rear main face, with an antenna defined in a conductive layer laying on the rear main face, the antenna extending over an antenna area delimited by a peripheral edge, the antenna comprising at least one inner loop or one outer loop, the outer loop running along the peripheral edge except over at least one of the first connecting segment or the second connecting segment, both the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment being diverted from the peripheral edge, towards or in a central zone of the antenna area,
• characterized in that
• the first connecting segment and the second connecting segment are respectively located on one side of a plane perpendicular to the antenna area, passing through a center of the antenna area, in that the antenna is essentially symmetrical with regard to said plane,
• and in that
• the method further comprises connecting the chip to the antenna, and wherein, depending on the chip specifications, the chip is either connected to a connecting pad directly connected to the first connecting segment, or to another connecting pad directly connected to the second connecting segment.
