Abstract
An image sensor unit may have a backside-illuminated imager and an image co-processor stacked together. The image co-processor may be mounted in a cavity in a permanent carrier. The permanent carrier may include fluid channels that allow cooling fluid to flow past the image co-process and past the imager, thereby removing excess heat generated by the image sensor unit during operation.
