Problems solved by technology

Alignment in the second step is particularly difficult because structures are already present on other surfaces
This limits the design possibilities and can also lead to unwanted stray light being collected into the device

Embodiment Construction

[0057] figure 1A purely schematic representation of a wafer-scale package 10 according to the invention with two flat outer substrates 20, 30 (preferably standard wafers) and a plurality of cavities 40 between the substrates 20, 30 the embodiment. The outer substrates 20 , 30 are stacked along a direction z (also called axial direction) orthogonal to their main surfaces 22 , 24 , 32 , 34 . The substrates 20 , 30 are axially separated by spacer block means 50 .

[0058] The axial walls 42, 44 of the cavity 40 (i.e. figure 1 The walls of the bottom and top) are formed by portions of the inner surfaces 24, 34 of the two outer substrates 20, 30. The lateral walls 46 , 48 of the cavity 40 are formed by corresponding lateral walls 54 of the spacer block arrangement 50 . The spacer arrangement 50 consists of, for example, a flat substrate with a plurality of through holes (spacer matrix) or a separate spacer.

[0059] Optical elements 62, 64 are attached to the inner surfaces ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wafer scale package comprising two or more substrates (20, 30) (wafers) that are stacked in an axial direction and a plurality of replicated optical elements (62, 64). The invention further relates to an optical device (100) comprising one or more optical elements, and to a method for production of such a wafer scale package. The wafer scale package and the device comprise one or more cavities that house the optical elements, while the end faces of the package or the device are planar and do not have replicated optical elements thereon. The invention allows to reduce the number of double sided substrates, and has advantages regarding design and manufacture of the optical device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of manufacturing integrated optical devices with two or more optical elements (eg refractive and / or diffractive lenses) in a precisely defined spatial layout on the wafer scale by means of a replication process. Such integrated optics are, for example, camera devices, optics for camera devices or collimating optics for flashlights, which are used in particular in camera mobile phones. More specifically, the present invention relates to wafer-scale packages comprising two or more substrates (wafers) stacked in the axial direction and having multiple replicated optical elements. The invention further relates to an optical arrangement (such as a camera or corresponding collimation optics) comprising two or more replicated optical elements and optionally also an electro-optical unit, the invention relates to the fabrication of such wafer-scale A method of encapsulating, and relating to a method of fabricating a plurality o...
