  • Method of manufacturing lenses, in particular for an integrated imager
    Patent number: 7964432
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a micro-module for capturing images having an imager and at least one lens, includes manufacturing at least one imager on a first plate of a semiconductor material, producing at least one optical zone to form a lens in at least one second plate of a transparent material, and of assembling the first and second plates so that the imager can receive light through the optical zone.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2011
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics Rousset SAS
    Inventors: Brendan Dunne, Olivier Gagliano, Robert Ronchi, Roberto Mionetto
  • Method for manufacturing lenses, in particular for an imager comprising a diaphragm
    Patent number: 7580204
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a lens of a polymer material, includes producing in the core of the lens or on the surface of the latter at least one opaque zone having an optical function, by locally degrading the molecular structure of the polymer material using a beam of laser light. Example application is provided in particular but not exclusively to CMOS imagers.
