  • Publication number: 20250110263
    Abstract: An optical device includes a metasurface formed by a metasurface substrate having at least a first metasurface layer made of a first material and an array of pillars extending through the first metasurface layer. The pillars are made of a second material different from the first material. The metasurface has a first face and a second face opposite the first face. A first anti-reflection stack is positioned over the first face of the metasurface. The first anti-reflection stack has a third face and a fourth face opposite the third face and positioned over the first face of the metasurface. A metal trace has a portion which is exposed at the third face of the first anti-reflection stack.

  • Publication number: 20240204029
    Abstract: An image sensor includes photodetection pixels formed inside and on top of a semiconductor substrate. An interconnection network coats a surface of the semiconductor substrate. The interconnection network includes a level of conductive vias in contact, by their lower surface, with the photodetection pixels. The conductive vias are made of doped polysilicon and have a heavier doping on their lower surface side than on their upper surface side.

  • Publication number: 20230068198
    Abstract: The present description concerns an optical diffuser including a first layer having an electrically-conductive track formed therein, and a second layer, having the first layer resting thereon resting thereon, and having at least two electrically-conductive pillars extending across the entire thickness of the second layer formed therein. The second layer includes at least one first region located under the conductive track comprising no pillar.
