Abstract
A conductor track supporting layer for laminating inside a chip card includes at least one conductor track and connecting areas that are connected to the conductor track. The conductor track is applied to the conductor track supporting layer during a screen printing method and is made of a screen printing paste. The conductor track supporting layer has indentations which are located in the area of the connecting areas and which are filled with the screen printing paste during the screen printing process. As a result, it is possible to produce conductor track supporting layers provided with connecting areas of varying thicknesses which enable the production of recesses in the chip cards, after the conductor track supporting layers are laminated in chip cards. These recesses expose the connecting i, areas for connection to electronic components. And, the sensitive strip conductors, also located in the chip card, are prevented from becoming damaged.
