Optical module for a camera device, baffle substrate, wafer scale package, and manufacturing methods therefor

摘要

An optical module for a camera device, the camera device including an image capturing element arranged on a base substrate portion, and has a top lens element and optionally further lens elements for imaging an object on the image capturing element, and further a baffle defining a predetermined field of view of the image capturing element. The baffle includes a generally transparent baffle substrate portion having a front surface and a rear surface, a generally non-transparent first layer with a plurality of first openings on the front surface and a generally non-transparent second layer with a plurality of second openings on the rear surface. The top lens element is arranged on the front and/or the rear surface of the baffle substrate, which leads to a reduced number layers/substrates in the module and to a reduced number of reflections on material-air interfaces, for example. The baffle has an improved ability to suppress unwanted light and enables protection of the inner part of the device as well as manufacture on wafer scale.
