    Abstract: An integrated optical sensor comprises a semiconductor substrate (1), an integrated circuit (2), a dielectric layer (6), a wiring (4), a structured filter layer (7) and a diffuser (10). The semiconductor substrate (1) has a main surface (11) and the integrated circuit (2) is arranged in the substrate (1) at or near the main surface (11). Furthermore, the integrated circuit (2) comprises at least one light sensitive component (3). The dielectric layer (6) comprises at least one compound of the semiconductor material. The dielectric layer (6) is arranged on or above the main surface (11). The wiring (4) is arranged in the dielectric layer (6) and provides an electrical connection to the integrated circuit (2), i.e. the wiring is connected to the integrated circuit (2). The structured filter layer (7) is arranged on the dielectric layer (6) and faces the at least one light sensitive component (3), i.e. the diffusor (10) is positioned over the structured filter layer (7). In particular, the structured filter layer (7) is adapted for diffused incident light. The diffuser (10) is arranged on the structured filter layer (7).

    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: An optical sensing device comprises a substrate carrying a first and a second photodetector stack comprises a band-pass filter, a decoupling layer arranged on the band-pass filter and a lower dielectric mirror arranged on the decoupling layer. The filter stack comprises a spacer stack with a primary spacer layer arranged on the lower dielectric mirror, comprising a first dielectric material and covering the photodetector array. The spacer stack comprises a first spacer layer comprising the first dielectric material, wherein a first segment of the first spacer layer is arranged on the primary spacer layer and covers the second photodetector but not the first photodetector. The filter stack comprises an upper dielectric mirror arranged on the spacer stack.

    Abstract: A sensor (2) is arranged at a main surface (10) of a semiconductor substrate (1), and a filter (3) is arranged above the sensor. A through-substrate via (4) penetrates the substrate outside the region of the sensor. A semiconductor body is applied above the main surface and then partially removed at least in an area above the sensor. A portion of the semiconductor body remains above the through-substrate via as a frame layer (5). The filter is on a level with the frame layer.
