Abstract
A reflowable camera module is implemented using a Chip Scale Package (CSP). An image sensor is formed on one portion of the carrier. A light emitting diode (LED) is formed on another portion of the carrier. The LED serves as an integrated camera flash. Additional optical isolation is provided within the camera module to prevent stray light generated by the LED from degrading image quality.
