1. A method for producing an electronic microcircuit module tape comprising the following steps performed in the following order:
depositing an electrically conductive layer on a first face of a substrate tape, wherein the substrate tape comprises a second opposite face;
gluing a first face of a mask tape on the second opposite face of the substrate tape; and
concurrent with or subsequent to the step of gluing, arranging an adhesive on a second different face of the mask tape;
wherein the mask tape comprises a window open to the second face of the substrate tape, wherein the window is sized and shaped to allow an integrated circuit to be inserted through the window and be subsequently mounted to the second face of the substrate tape after the mask tape has been attached to the substrate tape, and wherein the mask tape has a height greater than a height of an integrated circuit intended to be mounted on the second face of the substrate tape.
