A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor material substrate, an opto-electric component formed on the substrate, and a first transparent layer formed on an upper surface of the substrate over the component, the layer having a planar upper surface with a cavity formed therein. The first transparent layer has a selected thickness and a first index of refraction. The semiconductor device further includes a lens having a second index of refraction, the lens being formed in the cavity and having a planar upper surface. An upper surface of the lens and the upper surface of the transparent layer may be coplanar, or alternatively, they may lie in separate planes. The semiconductor device may also include a second transparent layer formed over the first layer and lens, as a passivation layer. The first transparent layer may be silicon dioxide, while the lens may be a flowable dielectric.
