An integrated circuit chip includes: a plurality of parallel wells of alternated conductivity types formed in the upper portion of a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type; in each well of the first type, a plurality of MOS transistors having a channel of the second conductivity type, and in each well of the second type, a plurality of MOS transistors having a channel of the first type, transistors of neighboring wells being inverted-connected; and a device of protection against attacks, including: a layer of the second type extending under said plurality of wells, from the lower surface of said wells; and regions of lateral insulation between the wells, said regions extending from the upper surface of the wells to said layer.

A method for manufacturing a micro-module for capturing images having an imager and at least one lens, includes manufacturing at least one imager on a first plate of a semiconductor material, producing at least one optical zone to form a lens in at least one second plate of a transparent material, and of assembling the first and second plates so that the imager can receive light through the optical zone.

Method of manufacturing lenses, in particular for an integrated imager

A CMOS imager includes a photosite array and a microlens array. The microlens array comprises microlenses of a first type and microlenses of a second type, the microlenses of first type being manufactured according to a first circular template having a first radius, the microlenses of second type being manufactured according to a second circular template having a second radius inferior to the first radius, and the first and second templates having overlap areas. One advantage is that the CMOS imager has a high fill rate.
