ABSTRACT:
A smart card may include integrated circuitry and I/O components composed of organic materials. Organic materials are advantageous because they remain intact under instances of physical stress. They permit the smart card to undergo flexion from time to time without damaging the processing components thereon. Further, use of organic materials leads to reduced costs during manufacture. For example, the organic materials may be provided directly upon substrates composed of ordinary plastic materials thereby reducing the costs of manufacture of these smart cards when compared with smart cards that are made of traditional silicon-based integrated circuits.
