Abstract
Methods and sensors are disclosed for executing a biometric function. Illumination light is generated and directed to a deformable layer when the deformable layer is in a state of deformation resulting from pressure applied to the deformable layer by a skin site. Light scattered from the deformable layer is received. A fingerprint pattern of the skin site is determined from the received light. The biometric function is performed with the determined fingerprint pattern.
