Claim:
A camera module, comprising: an image sensor package having a translucent substrate formed thereon; and a holder having a lower end attached to the translucent substrate of the image sensor package, wherein the image sensor package comprises a translucent substrate; a patterned metal layer formed on the translucent substrate; a patterned insulating film formed on the metal layer to form at least one through-hole; an image sensor chip coupled to the metal layer formed on the translucent substrate by a flipchip solder joint through the at least one through-hole formed on the insulating film; a solder ball formed on the metal layer outside the image sensor chip; and a dust-seal layer formed between the metal layer formed on the translucent substrate and the image sensor chip inside a region defined by the flipchip solder joint, wherein guide pins that extend downwardly and come into contact with a lateral surface of the translucent substrate are formed integrally with an outer surface of the holder, and wherein the guide pins are removed after the holder and the translucent substrate are bonded to each other.
