An exemplary method of making an FPC includes forming a substrate comprising metal foil layers interleaved with intervening layers by: (a) laminating intervening layers with metal foil layers; (b) adhering a covering film to outermost surfaces of the substrate; (c) defining a hole in one side of the substrate through the covering film and at least two metal foil layers and the intervening layer between the at least two metal foil layers by etching or laser technology; and (d) plating a portion of an inner wall of the hole with conductive material to form a via to electrically connect the at least two metal foil layers.

Method of making a flexible printed circuit board

A camera module includes a lens module, an image sensor, and a circuit board. The image sensor module is disposed in an image side of the lens module. The circuit board is electronically connected with the image sensor module. The circuit board includes a receiving chamber defined therein. The receiving chamber receives the image sensor module. The lens module is mounted on the circuit board and covers the receiving chamber. The image sensor module is fixed in the receiving chamber that is defined in the circuit board therein. Therefore, a thickness of the camera module along the axis of the camera module is decreased and a volume of the camera module becomes thinner compare with the conventional camera module.
