Patent ID: 7485500

Claim:
A method for producing a chip module, comprising: providing a chip with a chip contact; preparing a first part of the insulating structure having a recess; introducing the chip with a chip contact into the recess of the first part of the insulating structure; and generating a second part of the insulating structure via a stereolitography step, so that the second part of the insulating structure covers the chip and the chip contact at least partly, the step of generating comprising the following substeps: distributing a synthetic resin on an exposed side of the chip, so that the synthetic resin penetrates into a gap between the recess and the chip and seals the gap; exposing and curing the synthetic resin such that the chip contact is in a hole of a cured synthetic resin layer; forming a conductive trace, which is connected to the chip contact in the hole of the cured synthetic resin layer in an electrically conductive way; and depositing a spare contact on the external surface of the insulating structure, so that the spare contact is connected to the chip contact via the conductive trace in an electrically conductive way; the step of forming a conductive trace comprising the following substeps: providing the second part of the insulating structure with a recess; and introducing a conductive material into at least part of the recess via application by doctor to form at least part of the conductive trace.
