METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ELECTRONIC MODULE FOR A SMART CARD

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electronic module for a smart card, said module comprising, on the one hand, a substrate (11) having on a first face (8) a terminal block of electric contacts enabling operation by contact with the corresponding contacts of a smart card reader, and comprising an antenna (3) provided with at least one coil, a microelectronic chip (2), and metal connection wires (4, 5, 6) constituting protruding loops relative to a second face (7) and connecting the pads of the microelectronic chip (2) to corresponding pads of the antenna (3) and/or the terminal block of contacts, characterised in that it comprises a step, after wiring the connection wires (4, 5, 6), of covering the face of the module located on the side of the chip (2), with a cover (13) which flattens the wire loops (4, 5, 6) in order to reduce the height thereof.
