TOSHIBA PAPER-THIN CHIP PACKAGE
Toshiba has developed a chip package as thin as piece of paper, reducing 3-dimensional scale of packages to about one tenth the height of a conventional device. The technology will be used to make higher-capacity flash memory storage cards. One potential application is a postage stamp-form chip which has wireless antenna and can be pasted to almost any surface. (EE Times 2 Jun 99) http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG19990602S0042
