Abstract
An image sensor with at least one correcting lens and a method for fabricating the same are described. The image sensor includes a substrate with an array of microlenses thereon and at least one correcting lens disposed over the substrate covering the microlens array. In the fabricating method, a substrate having formed with a microlens array thereon is provided, and then at least one correcting lens is disposed over the substrate covering the microlens array. The at least one correcting lens can, in use of the image sensor, shift the incident direction of light to a microlens in edge parts of the array of microlenses toward the normal line direction of the image sensor.
