Abstract :
An ultra small (0.3 mm×0.3 mm×0.06 mm) radio frequency identification chip, named μ-chip, has been developed for use in a wide range of individual recognition applications. The chip is designed to be thin so that it can be applied to paper and paper-like media, which have been used widely in retailing to create certificates that have monetary value, as well as to token-type devices. The μ-chip has been designed and fabricated using 0.18 μm standard CMOS technology.
