  • Publication number: 20240152033
    Abstract: An optical system is provided, including a movable part, a fixed part, and a driving assembly. The movable part is connected to a first optical element. The movable part is movable relative to the fixed part. The fixed part has a fixed part opening, wherein a light passes through the fixed part opening. The driving assembly drives the movable part to move relative to the fixed part. The first optical element at least partially overlaps the fixed part opening when the movable part is in a first position. When the movable part is in an extreme position, the first optical element does not overlap the fixed part opening.

  • Publication number: 20240112928
    Abstract: A trimming method is provided. The trimming method includes the following steps. A first wafer including a substrate and a device layer over a first side of the substrate is provided. The first wafer is bonded to a second wafer with the first side of the substrate facing toward the second wafer. An edge trimming process is performed to remove a trimmed portion of the substrate from a second side opposite to the first side vertically downward toward the first side in a first direction along a perimeter of the substrate, wherein the edge trimming process results in the substrate having a flange pattern laterally protruding from the device layer and laterally surrounding an untrimmed portion of the substrate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.
