    Abstract: A camera module has light-field camera(s) and high resolution camera(s), the light-field camera(s) have multiple-lens arrays above an image sensor. The light-field camera(s) have a lens element at a same level as a lens element of the high resolution camera, the lens elements bearing apertures. The multiple-lens array of the light-field camera is above the image sensor at a same level as a flat transparent plate of the high resolution camera. The cameras lens cubes are made simultaneously by bonding molded lens plates and spacer plates, the lens plates and spacer plates including an upper lens plate having upper light-field camera lens elements and upper high resolution camera lens elements with applied apertures, multiple spacer plates, a microlens plate bearing an array of microlenses in the light-field cameras, the microlens plate being flat and transparent in areas of the high resolution camera.

    Abstract: An image-sensor package includes a cover glass, an image sensor, and an integrated circuit. The cover glass has a cover-glass bottom surface, to which the image sensor is bonded. The integrated circuit is beneath the cover-glass bottom surface, adjacent to the image sensor, and electronically connected to the image sensor. A method for packaging an image sensor includes attaching an image sensor to a cover-glass bottom surface of a cover glass, a light-sensing region of the image sensor facing the cover-glass bottom surface. The method also includes attaching an integrated circuit to the cover-glass bottom surface, a top IC-surface of the integrated circuit facing the cover-glass bottom surface.

    Abstract: A cavity interposer has a cavity, first bondpads adapted to couple to a chip-type camera cube disposed within a base of the cavity at a first level, the first bondpads coupled through feedthroughs to second bondpads at a base of the interposer at a second level; and third bondpads adapted to couple to a light-emitting diode (LED), the third bondpads at a third level. The third bondpads coupled to fourth bondpads at the base of the interposer at the second level; and the second and fourth bondpads couple to conductors of a cable with the first, second, and third level different. An endoscope optical includes the cavity interposer an LED, and a chip-type camera cube electrically bonded to the first bondpads; the LED is bonded to the third bondpads; and a top of the chip-type camera cube and a top of the LED are at a same level.

    Abstract: A curved-surface image-sensor assembly has a porous carrier having a concave surface with a thinned image sensor bonded by an adhesive to its concave surface of the porous carrier; the porous carrier is mounted into a water-resistant package. The sensor assembly is made by fabricating a thinned, flexible, image-sensor integrated circuit (IC) and applying adhesive to a non-illuminated side of the IC; positioning the IC over a concave surface of a porous carrier; applying vacuum through the porous carrier to suck the IC onto the concave surface of the porous carrier; and curing the adhesive to bond the IC to the concave surface of the porous carrier.

    Abstract: A cavityless chip-scale image-sensor package includes a substrate, a microlens array, and a low-index layer. The substrate includes a plurality of pixels forming a pixel array. The microlens array includes a plurality of microlenses each (i) having a lens refractive index, (ii) being aligned to a respective one of the plurality of pixels and (iii) having a non-planar microlens surfaces facing away from the respective one of the plurality of pixels. The low-index layer has a first refractive index less than the lens refractive index. The low-index layer also includes a bottom surface, at least part of which is conformal to each non-planar microlens surface. The microlens array is between the pixel array and the low-index layer.

The base substrate includes electrically-conductive layers interspersed with electrically-insulating build-up layers. Each of the surface-mounting region, the connection region, and the bendable region spans between a bottom substrate-surface and a top substrate-surface of the base substrate. The surface-mounting region further includes an electrically-insulating first top rigid-layer, and device bond-pads exposed on a top surface of the first top rigid-layer facing away from the top substrate-surface in the surface-mounting region. The connection region further includes an electrically-insulating second top rigid-layer and a plurality of connector bond-pads each exposed on a top surface of the second top rigid-layer facing away from the top substrate-surface in the connection region, and electrically connected to a respective device bond-pad via at least one of the electrically conductive layers.
