Abstract
An image sensor assembly is disclosed herein that can include a flexible substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface. The flexible substrate includes a body portion, an outer portion, and an elongated portion that extends from the body portion. The image sensor assembly also includes at least one rigid layer disposed over at least one of the top surface or the bottom surface of the body portion of the flexible substrate. The image sensor assembly also includes a rigid metallic structure disposed on the bottom surface of the body portion.
Claims4
An image sensor assembly, comprising:
- a flexible substrate including a body portion, an outer portion, and an elongated portion that extends from the body portion, the flexible substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, the elongated portion having a proximal end and a distal end relative to the body portion;
- an image sensor disposed on the top surface of the body portion;
- a first rigid layer comprising a glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material disposed over the top surface of the body portion to the proximal end;
- a second rigid layer comprising a glass-reinforced epoxy laminate material disposed over the bottom surface of the body portion to the proximal end;
- and
- a rigid metallic structure disposed directly on at least a portion of the bottom surface of the body portion such that the rigid metallic structure directly overlaps the image sensor, wherein the rigid metallic structure comprises a heat sink configured to transfer heat from the image sensor,
- wherein the first rigid layer and the second rigid layer sandwich the distal end of the elongated portion such that the elongated portion is exposed between the proximal end and the distal end.
