    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate (1) is provided on a main surface (14) with an intermetal dielectric (4) including metal planes (5) and on an opposite rear surface (15) with an insulation layer (2) and an electrically conductive connection pad (7). An etch stop layer (6) is applied on the intermetal dielectric to prevent a removal of the intermetal dielectric above the metal planes during subsequent method steps. An opening (9) having a side wall (3) and a bottom (13) is formed from the main surface through the substrate above the connection pad. A side wall spacer (10) is formed on the side wall by a production and subsequent partial removal of a dielectric layer (11). The insulation layer is removed from the bottom to uncover an area of the connection pad. A metal layer is applied in the opening and is provided for an interconnect through the substrate.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical sensor is provided. The method comprises providing an optical sensor arrangement which comprises at least two optical sensor elements on a carrier, where the optical sensor arrangement comprises a light entrance surface at the side of the optical sensor elements facing away from the carrier. The method further comprises forming a trench between two optical sensor elements in a vertical direction which is perpendicular to the main plane of extension of the carrier, where the trench extends from the light entrance surface of the sensor arrangement at least to the carrier. Moreover, the method comprises coating the trench with an opaque material, forming electrical contacts for the at least two optical sensor elements on a back side of the carrier facing away from the optical sensor elements, and forming at least one optical sensor by dicing the optical sensor arrangement along the trench. Each optical sensor comprises an optical sensor element, and the light entrance surface is free of electrical contacts and at least partially free of the opaque material above the optical sensor elements. Furthermore, an optical sensor is provided.

    Abstract: A relief structure is formed on a surface of a carrier provided for accommodating a wafer, which is fastened to the carrier by a removable adhesive contacting the carrier. The relief structure, which may be spatially confined to the centre of the carrier, reduces the strength of adhesion between the wafer and the carrier. If the adhesive is appropriately selected and maintains the connection between the wafer and the carrier at elevated temperatures, further process steps can be performed at temperatures of typically 300° C. or more. The subsequent mechanical separation of the adhesive joint is facilitated by the relief structure on the carrier.

    Abstract: A 3D-Integrated optical sensor comprises a semiconductor substrate, an integrated circuit, a wiring, a filter layer, a transparent spacer layer, and an on-chip diffuser. The semiconductor substrate has a main surface. The integrated circuit comprises at least one light sensitive area and is arranged in the substrate at or near the main surface. The wiring provides an electrical connection to the integrated circuit and is connected to the integrated circuit. The wiring is arranged on or in the semiconductor substrate. The filter layer has a direction dependent transmission characteristic and is arranged on the integrated circuit. In fact, the filter layer at least covers the light sensitive area. The transparent spacer layer is arranged on the main surface and, at least partly, encloses the filter layer. A spacer thickness is arranged to limit a spectral shift of the filter layer. The on-chip diffuser is arranged on the transparent spacer layer.

    Abstract: A device wafer having a main surface including an edge region and a carrier having a further main surface including an annular surface region corresponding to the edge region of the device wafer are provided. An adhesive is applied in the edge region and/or in the annular surface region, but not on the remaining areas of the main surfaces. The device wafer is fastened to the carrier by the adhesive. The main surface and the further main surface are brought into contact with one another when the device wafer is fastened to the carrier, while the main surface and the further main surface are fastened to one another only in the edge region. The device wafer is removed from the carrier after further process steps, which may include the formation of through-wafer vias in the device wafer.
