An image sensor package, comprising a silicon substrate; an image sensor pixel array that is formed on the silicon substrate; a peripheral circuit region that is formed around the image sensor pixel array on the silicon substrate; a redistribution layer (RDL) that is electrically coupled to the peripheral circuit region; at least one solder ball that is electrically coupled to the RDL; and a cover glass that is coupled to the RDL. No part of the RDL is located directly above or below the image sensor pixel array. No part of the at least one solder ball is located directly above or below the silicon substrate. A dark material layer is implemented to prevent an edge flare effect of the image sensor pixel array.
