Abstract: A method for forming an image sensor device is provided. First, a lens is provided and a first sacrificial element is formed thereon. An electromagnetic interference layer is formed on the lens and the first sacrificial element, and the first sacrificial element and electromagnetic interference layer thereon are removed to form an electromagnetic interference pattern having an opening exposing a selected portion of the lens. A second sacrificial element is formed in the opening to cover a center region of the selected portion of the lens. A peripheral region of the selected portion of the lens remains exposed. A light-shielding layer is formed on the electromagnetic interference pattern, second sacrificial element, and peripheral region of the selected portion of the lens. The second sacrificial element and light-shielding pattern are removed to expose the center region of the selected portion of the lens as a light transmitting region.

Abstract: A chip-scale packaging process for wafer-level camera manufacture includes aligning an optics component wafer with an interposer wafer having a photoresist pattern that forms a plurality of transparent regions, bonding the aligned optics component wafer to the interposer wafer, and dicing the bonded optics component wafer and interposer wafer such that each optics component with interposer has a transparent region. The process further includes dicing an image sensor wafer, aligning the pixel array of each image sensor with the transparent region of a respective optics component with interposer, and bonding each image sensor to its respective optics component with interposer. Each interposer provides alignment between its respective optics component center and its respective pixel array center of the image sensor based on the respective transparent region. The interposer further provides a back focal length for focusing light from the optics component onto a top surface of the pixel array.
