Patent ID: 8355628

Claim:
A compact camera module, comprising: an image sensor array chip comprising an image sensor array on a top surface thereof; a package layer underlying side surfaces and a bottom surface of the image sensor array chip; a trace set comprising a plurality of first traces and at least one second trace, wherein the at least one second trace comprises a vertical portion extending from a top surface via a through hole to a bottom surface of the image sensor array chip and a horizontal portion extending to an outer surface of the image sensor array chip, and one end of the at least one second trace is connected to a solder ball; a transparent substrate covering the top surface of the image sensor array chip; a spacer between the transparent substrate and the image sensor array chip, wherein the horizontal portion is disposed between the spacer and the image sensor array chip; a set of optical elements overlying the transparent substrate, aligning with the image sensor array, and comprising a lens set; and a zooming device connecting to the set of optical elements for adjusting a distance between the lens set and the image sensor array, wherein the zooming device directly electrically joins with the at least one second trace.
