ABSTRACT:
An optical information processing circuit assembly includes an optically transmissive substrate and a resiliently compressible circuit member affixed to the substrate and defining an opening therethrough with a number of leads disposed about the opening. An integrated imaging circuit defines a corresponding number of pads wherein the pads align with and electrically contact the leads. An optically transmissive medium may be disposed between and in contact with the substrate and the integrated imaging circuit to allow light transmission therethrough from the substrate to the imaging circuit. In one embodiment, resilient bumps are provided between the integrated imaging circuit and the resiliently compressible circuit member to form the electrical connection therebetween. Alternatively, solder bumps may replace the resilient bumps. Additional circuit components may be similarly mounted to the resiliently compressible circuit member to complete the assembly.
