Abstract: A camera module is provided. The camera module comprises: a holder having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a bottom; a lens member held on the upper portion of the holder; a hinge disposed on the bottom of the holder; a cover coupled to the hinge and to the bottom of the holder, the cover being allowed to open and close to cover the bottom of the holder, the cover and the lower portion of the holder forming a space; and an image sensing and processing device disposed on the cover, wherein when the cover is close, the space can accommodate the image sensing and processing device.

Abstract: An image sensor including an image sensing device layer, a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer, an optical device array and a substrate is provided. The SOI layer has a first surface and a second surface. The image sensing device layer is formed on the first surface of the SOI layer. The optical device array is formed on the second surface of the SOI layer. The substrate is disposed above the second surface of the SOI layer; the optical device array is disposed between the substrate and the SOI layer. An incident light coming from the outside environment, passes through the optical device array and the SOI layer, and is received by sensing devices formed in the image sensing device layer. In this manner, the probability of absorption or reflection of the incident light is reduced. Therefore, the sensing performance and the yield of the image sensor of the present invention is improved.
