Microlenses for directing radiation toward a sensor of an imaging device include a plurality of mutually adhered layers of cured optically transmissive material. Systems include at least one microprocessor, a substrate including an array of microlenses formed thereon in electrical communication with the at least one microprocessor. At least one microlens in the array includes a plurality of mutually adhered layers of cured optically transmissive material.
摘要:
A conductive element is formed on a substrate by forming an organometallic layer on at least a portion of a surface of the substrate, heating a portion of the organometallic layer, and removing an unheated portion of the organometallic layer. In other methods, a flowable, uncured conductive material may be deposited on a surface of the substrate, the flowable, uncured conductive material may be selectively cured over at least a portion of the surface of the substrate, and a portion of the cured conductive material may be removed. A conductive via is formed by forming a hole at least partially through a thickness of a substrate, depositing an organometallic material within at least a portion of the hole, and selectively heating at least a portion of the organometallic material.

A microlens for use in an imaging device may be fabricated by disposing a flowable, uncured optically transmissive material in at least one layer onto a surface of a substrate, selectively curing at least a portion of the flowable, uncured optically transmissive material, and removing the flowable, uncured optically transmissive material from the surface of the substrate.
摘要:
A support structure for use with a semiconductor substrate in thinning, or backgrinding, thereof, as well as during post-thinning processing of the semiconductor substrate includes a portion which extends substantially along and around an outer periphery of the semiconductor substrate to impart the thinned semiconductor substrate with rigidity. The support structure may be configured as a ring or as a member which substantially covers an active surface of the semiconductor substrate and forms a protective structure over each semiconductor device carried by the active surface. Assemblies that include the support structure and a semiconductor substrate are also within the scope of the present invention, as are methods for forming the support structures and thinning and post-thinning processes that include use of the support structures.

Low temperature processed back side redistribution lines (RDLs) are disclosed. Low temperature processed back side RDLs may be electrically connected to the active surface devices of a semiconductor substrate using through wafer interconnects (TWIs). The TWIs may be formed prior to forming the RDLs, after forming the RDLs, or substantially simultaneously to forming the RDLs. The material for the back side RDLs and various other associated materials, such as dielectrics and conductive via filler materials, are processed at temperatures sufficiently low so as to not damage the semiconductor devices or associated components contained on the active surface of the semiconductor substrate. The low temperature processed back side RDLs of the present invention may be employed with optically interactive semiconductor devices and semiconductor memory devices, among many others. Semiconductor devices employing the RDLs of the present invention may be stacked and electrically connected theretogether.

Microelectronic imagers, optical devices for microelectronic imagers, methods for manufacturing integrated optical devices for use with microelectronic imagers, and methods for packaging microelectronic imagers. The optical devices are manufactured in optical device assemblies that provide efficient and highly accurate fabrication of the optics that are used in microelectronic imagers. The optical device assemblies are particularly useful for packaging a plurality of microelectronic imagers at the wafer level. Wafer-level packaging is expected to significantly enhance the efficiency of manufacturing microelectronic imagers because a plurality of imagers can be packaged simultaneously using highly accurate and efficient processes developed for packaging processors, memory devices and other semiconductor devices.
