Abstract

This article underscores the importance of thin silicon for the development of new RFID security products. Quality requirements are presented that show how the utilisation of thin silicon enables new business opportunities. A presentation of some typical RFID applications, based on thin silicon, gives an impression of thin silicon integration into RFID security products.
