    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 dielectric layer (2) is arranged on the main surface (10) of a semiconductor substrate (1), and a passivation layer (6) is arranged on the dielectric layer. A metal layer (3) is embedded in the dielectric layer above an opening (12) in the substrate, and a metallization (14) is arranged in the opening. The metallization contacts the metal layer and forms a through-substrate via to a rear surface (11) of the substrate. A layer or layer sequence (7, 8, 9) comprising at least one further layer is arranged on the passivation layer above the opening. In this way the bottom of the through-substrate via is stabilized. A plug (17) may additionally be arranged in the opening without filling the opening.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body, an electrically conductive via which extends through at least a part of the semiconductor body, and where the via has a top side and a bottom side that faces away from the top side, an electrically conductive etch-stop layer arranged at the bottom side of the via in a plane which is parallel to a lateral direction, where the lateral direction is perpendicular to a vertical direction given by the main axis of extension of the via, and at least one electrically conductive contact layer at the bottom side of the via in a plane which is parallel to the lateral direction. The etch-stop layer is arranged between the electrically conductive via and the contact layer in the vertical direction, the lateral extent in the lateral direction of the etch-stop layer amounts to at least 2.5 times the lateral extent of the via in the lateral direction, and the lateral extent of the contact layer is smaller than the lateral extent of the via or the lateral extent of the contact layer amounts to at least 2.5 times the lateral extent of the via.
