ABSTRACT:
A method of making an imager includes the following steps: providing a semiconductor substrate having a top surface; providing a plurality of spaced image pixels h the substrate, thereby forming a semiconductor portion; and depositing a first transparent substantially inorganic support layer over the semiconductor portion. The method further includes the following steps: making the inorganic support layer optically planar by chemical mechanical polishing, thereby forming an optically flat top surface; forming a plurality of depressions in the optically flat top surface; uniformly depositing a substantially inorganic lens material on the optically flat top surface, entirely filling the depressions; and making the substantially inorganic lens material optically planar by chemical mechanical polishing, thereby forming an optically planar lens surface.
