The present disclosure describes image sensor modules that can include auto focus control. The modules also include features that can help reduce or eliminate tilt of the module's optical sub-assembly with respect to the plane of the image sensor. In some instances, the modules include features to facilitate highly precise positioning of the optical sub-assembly, and also can result in modules having a very small z height.

Image sensor module with auto focus control

The present disclosure describes subassemblies and optoelectronic modules in which an optics system, or a spacer laterally surrounding a cover glass, includes a flange which facilitates mechanical attachment of the optics system to the spacer.

Optoelectronic module including lens barrel comprising flanges and adhesive thereon and resting directly on a cover glass

Optoelectronic modules, such as imaging cameras, proximity sensors, range cameras, structured-light/pattern generators, and image projectors, and methods for their manufacture, are disclosed. The optoelectronic modules exhibit particularly small dimensions. The optoelectronic modules include an optical assembly, an intermediate substrate, and a base substrate. The optical assembly includes a flange portion. An adhesive layer between the flange portion and the intermediate substrate, and an additional adhesive layer between the intermediate substrate and the base can be substantially non-transmissive to light and can resist dimensional changes dues to moisture absorption, for example.

Optoelectronic modules and methods for manufacturing the same

Optoelectronic modules include overmolds that support an optical assembly and, in some case, protect wiring providing electrical connections between an image sensor and a printed circuit board (PCB) or other substrate. The disclosure also describes wafer-level fabrication methods for making the modules.

Optoelectronic modules including overmold supporting an optical assembly

An optical module comprising: a plurality of active optoelectronic components each one mounted on a respective printed circuit board (PCB), wherein each active optoelectronic component is associated with a respective different optical channel; a plurality of optical assemblies, each one is substantially aligned over a different respective optical channel; and a spacer separating the active optoelectronic components and PCBs from the optical assemblies, wherein the optical assemblies are attached by adhesive directly to an optical assembly-side surface of the spacer. A first active optoelectronic component is separated, by the spacer, from a first optical assembly by a first distance and a second active optoelectronic component is separated, by the spacer, from a second optical assembly by a different second distance. Also contemplated is a method for fabricating an optical module that comprises: modifying a height of one or more extensions on a spacer to adjust for at least one of a focal length or tilt of at least one optical channel.
