Patent ID: 7855463

Claim:
A method of producing an integrated circuit module comprising: providing a chip, the chip comprising: a substrate with a first main area and a second main area, wherein the first main area comprising two half-sets of pads; an integrated circuit comprising: components; two half-sets of connection lines, wherein the connection lines electrically connect the components of the integrated circuit to the respective two half-sets of pads; and a changeover device, wherein the changeover device has two switching states in order to interchange the electrical assignment between the half-sets of the connection lines and the half-sets of the pads; providing a carrier, wherein the carrier comprises contact pieces; arranging the chip on the carrier with one of the two main areas of the chip facing the carrier; electrically connecting the contact pieces of the carrier to the assigned pads of the chip; and selecting one of the two switching states of the changeover device, depending on which of the two main areas of the chip is the area facing the carrier.
