Applying microelectronics techniques to optics enables economies of scale for next-generation phones.

Michael Feldman, Tessera North America

Wafer-level optics is a novel technology that is designed to meet the demand for smaller form factors, higher resolution and cost-effective pricing in the next generation of camera phones. The optical components are fabricated on glass wafers in a manner similar to that of fabricating integrated-circuit chips on silicon wafers. The entire camera is aligned and assembled at the wafer level and subsequently diced to form individual camera modules. The size of a camera module, often the largest component on a board, is a primary factor limiting handset design. Ideally, the camera would be...Read full article
