Abstract:
The wafer-level manufacturing method makes possible to manufacture ultrathin optical devices such as opto-electronic modules. A clear encapsulation is applied to an initial wafer including active optical components and a wafer-size substrate, thereon, a photostructurable opaque coating is produced which includes apertures. Then, trenches are produced which extend through the clear encapsulation and establish side walls of intermediate products. Then, an opaque encapsulation is applied to the intermediate products, thus filling the trenches. Cutting through the opaque encapsulation material present in the trenches, singulated optical modules are produced, wherein side walls of the intermediate products are covered by the opaque encapsulation material.

Claim (Index 14):
An optical device comprising\n a substrate member; one or more active optical components operable to emit or sense light of a particular range of wavelengths; a clear encapsulation material translucent to light of the particular range of wavelengths; an opaque coating material opaque for light of the particular range of wavelengths, defining at least one aperture associated with the one or more active optical components; an opaque wall structure made of an opaque encapsulation material opaque to light of the particular range of wavelengths; wherein the one or more active optical components are attached to the substrate member, and wherein the clear encapsulation material establishes an overmold for the one or more active optical components.
