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.
