die or die strap to form an rfid data carrier in order to facilitate high speed processing of the systems it is desirable to utilize pre applied adhesives on the contact pads of the rfid antennas while the present application discusses antennas having two contact pads it is possible for the antenna to have more than two contact pads and such embodiments are also within the scope of this invention antennas with pre applied adhesive will simplify the die attach assembly process and reduce the production cost to the rfid manufacturers currently rfid system manufacturers apply the adhesives to the antenna resulting in additional steps in the assembly process through the use of the antennas with pre applied adhesive of the present invention the rfid system production time will not be limited by the ability to apply adhesives at a sufficiently high speed the rfid system manufacturers will not be exposed to liquid adhesives resulting in reduced waste cleanup time and maintenance time along with a reduced risk of exposure of its personnel to hazardous chemicals further the softened or melted pre applied adhesives of the present invention will possess a higher green strength than the liquid adhesives currently utilized resulting in a reduction of mis alignments between the die and antenna contact pads before curing of the adhesive overall the use of the pre applied adhesives on the antenna will result in less.
