A method of manufacturing an electromagnetic wave readable data carrier having a body of a data carrier and an electronic component module, said body of the data carrier having an insulating base material and a conductive pattern held on the insulating base material, said electronic component module having a circuit board and a semiconductor chip with a terminal bump mounted on the circuit board, said circuit board having a wiring pattern with an electrode area and a thermoplastic resin coat covering the electrode area of the wiring pattern, said method comprising the steps of:
- manufacturing the electronic component module by mounting the semiconductor chip on the wiring pattern, said electronic component module manufacturing step comprising the substeps of:
- heating and melting the thermoplastic resin coat of said circuit board;
- pressing the terminal bump of said semiconductor chip on the thus melted thermoplastic resin coat while applying an ultrasonic wave to the terminal bump so that the terminal bump penetrates the melted thermoplastic resin coat and comes into contact with the electrode area;
- bonding the terminal bump and the electrode area by continuously applying an ultrasonic wave to the terminal bump while the terminal bump is in contact with the electrode area;
- cooling and solidifying the melted thermoplastic resin coat so as to securely mount said semiconductor chip on said circuit board;
- and integrating the electronic component module with the body of the data carrier.
