Abstract
The present invention relates to image sensing devices, image sensor modules, and associated methods. One aspect of the invention is directed toward an imaging device that includes a carrier having a first surface, a second surface generally opposite the first surface, and carrier contacts. The carrier contacts are carried on the second surface of the carrier. The device further includes an image sensor module having light sensing elements and a support. The support has a first surface, a second surface generally opposite the first surface, and support contacts. The image sensor module is located relative to the carrier so that a portion of the first surface of the support faces a portion of the second surface of the carrier and so that a portion of the image sensor module extends past the first and second surfaces of the carrier.
