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 8):
The method according to one of  claims 1  to  6 , wherein the applying of the opaque encapsulation comprises\n shaping the opaque encapsulation material in a replication process using a replication tool comprising a surface comprising a replication surface for shaping the opaque encapsulation material; and \n pressing the replication surface against the opaque coating while shaping the opaque encapsulation material; \n wherein during the pressing, a multitude of hollows is established and a multitude of seals is established, each of the seals completely surrounding one of the hollows and preventing that any of the opaque encapsulation material enters the respective surrounded hollow, wherein each of the hollows encloses one of the apertures, and wherein each of the seals is formed by a respective section of the opaque coating abutting a respective section of the surface of the replication tool.
