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 6):
A method for producing a plurality of microlenses, comprising:\n providing a carrier wafer matrix having a plurality of openings for respectively accommodating the plurality of microlenses, each opening defined by an inner ring surface that extends between a pair of opposite facing lower and upper carrier surfaces of the carrier wafer matrix, wherein the lower and upper carrier surfaces respectively provide a plurality of lower and upper mating surfaces, and a thickness of the carrier wafer matrix is defined by a distance between the opposite facing lower and upper carrier surfaces; providing a lens material in each of the openings of the carrier wafer matrix, said lens material forming the plurality of microlenses; providing lower and upper lens die matrices, each lens die matrix having a plurality of contact surfaces; and molding the plurality of microlenses into the carrier wafer matrix by a stamping process that includes acting on the lens material in the plurality of openings with the lower and upper lens die matrices such that the contact surfaces of the lower and upper lens die matrices respectively adjoin the lower and upper mating surfaces of the carrier wafer matrix for coplanar alignment of the lower and upper lens die matrices during the stamping process, wherein each of the microlenses molded by the stamping process has a thickness that is defined by the thickness of the carrier wafer such that the thickness of each microlens is not greater than the thickness of the carrier wafer.
