Abstract
A method for manufacturing optical unit, the method includes (a) obtaining an intermediate optical unit that comprises a semiconductor portion, a transparent organic layer, the array of organic microlenses and a protective layer; (b) depositing a protective mask above a first protective layer region; (c) removing, by applying a first etch process, the second protective layer region to expose a second region of the transparent organic layer; and (d) removing, by applying a second etch process, the second region of the transparent organic layer to expose the contact pads and removing the protective mask while maintaining the first protective layer portion.
