  • Publication number: 20230178575
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device including: a multilayer substrate including an optical element; a light-transmitting plate provided on the substrate to cover the optical element; and a lens of an inorganic material provided between the substrate and the light-transmitting plate. A structure having a same strength as a strength per unit area of the lens is provided at a portion outside an effective photosensitive region where the optical element is formed, when the substrate is viewed in plan.

  • Publication number: 20230113565
    Abstract: Provided is a light-emitting device and a method for manufacturing the same which allow the filling performance of the film that fills the space around light-emitting elements to be improved. The light-emitting device according to the disclosure includes a substrate, a plurality of light-emitting elements and a plurality of electrodes sequentially provided on a first surface of the substrate, and a film provided on the first surface of the substrate to surround the light-emitting elements, and when the first surface is a bottom surface of the substrate, the lowermost part of a bottom surface of the film is provided in a higher position than a bottom surface of the electrode. In this way, for example, the film is formed before the substrate is provided on another substrate, so that the filling performance of the film that fills the space around the light-emitting elements can be improved.
