An IC body is loaded to a case 2 made of thermosetting resin material and
sealed with a sealing portion made of thermosetting resin material to be
integrated, whereby an IC card is manufactured. The IC body comprises: a
wiring substrate formed with an external connection terminal at a back
surface thereof; a semiconductor chip loaded over a surface of the wiring
substrate and electrically connected to the external connection terminal
via a interconnect; and the sealing portion made of thermosetting resin
material so as to cover the semiconductor chip and a bonding wire. The
sealing portion is formed so that the external connection terminal is
exposed. The present invention makes it possible to heighten the strength
of IC cards and at the same time, to reduce the manufacturing cost and
improve the reliability.
