Patent ID: 7498556

Claim:
An image sensor module structure, comprising: a substrate with a package-receiving cavity formed in an upper surface of said substrate and conductive traces formed within said substrate, wherein said substrate includes a contact metal formed thereon; a package having an opening to expose a micro-lens area and a fan-out build up layer with terminal metal pads formed on a side edge of said package, said package being disposed within said package-receiving cavity; a solder bridge formed on said terminal metal pads of said package and said substrate to communicate with said conductive trace through said contact metal; a lens holder attached on said substrate, said lens holder having a lens attached to an upper portion of said lens holder; and wherein said package includes: a base; a die having said micro-lens area attached to said base; a first material surrounding said die, wherein said surface of said first material is formed level with said die surface; a dielectric layer formed on said die and said the first material, wherein said dielectric layer has an opening to expose said micro-lens and I/O pads; a redistribution conductive layer (RDL) formed on said dielectric layer, wherein said RDL is coupled to said die and said terminal contact pads; and a protective dielectric layer formed over said RDL, and having an opening to expose said micro-lens and terminal contact pads.
