    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.
