Abstract:
A method for producing a microlens with a carrier wafer, in which a lens in one opening of the carrier wafer is molded into the carrier wafer by stamping of the lens and to a corresponding device for executing the method and to a microlens which has been produced using the method.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for producing a microlens comprising:\n providing a carrier wafer having an opening for accommodating the microlens, said opening defined by an inner ring surface that extends between a pair of opposite facing lower and upper carrier surfaces of the carrier wafer, wherein the lower and upper carrier surfaces provide respective lower and upper mating surfaces, and a thickness of the carrier wafer is defined by a distance between the opposite facing lower and upper carrier surfaces; providing a lens material in the opening of the carrier wafer, said lens material forming the microlens; providing lower and upper lens dies, each lens die having a respective contact surface; and molding the microlens into the carrier wafer by a stamping process that includes acting on the lens material in the opening with the lower and upper lens dies such that the contact surfaces of the lower and upper lens dies respectively adjoin the lower and upper mating surfaces of the carrier wafer for coplanar alignment of the lower and upper lens dies during the stamping process, wherein the microlens molded by the stamping process has a thickness that is defined by the thickness of the carrier wafer such that the thickness of the molded microlens is not greater than the thickness of the carrier wafer.
