Patent ID: 7598622

Claim:
A chip module comprising: a substrate having a top side; a chip carrier mounted on the substrate top side and having a side that is curved; a curved chip mounted on the curved side of the chip carrier; and an encapsulation comprising an encapsulation material, which encapsulation is applied on the chip and the top side of the substrate such that the chip and the top side of the substrate are at least partly covered, wherein the encapsulation material comprises a polymer composition having at least a first polymer component and a second polymer component which are chemically covalently bonded by means of a crosslinker, the first polymer component imparting resistance toward a first class of chemical attacks by chemically reactive compounds and the second polymer component imparting resistance toward a second class of chemical attacks by chemically reactive compounds, and wherein the respective chemically reactive compounds of the first and second classes of chemical attacks each have differing reactivities with the first and second polymer components.
