Production method of wafer lens, intermediate die, optical component, molding die, and production method of molding die

Abstract

Provided are a wafer lens production method, an intermediate die, an optical component, a molding die, and a molding die production method. The production method of a wafer lens () includes a first intermediate die production step using a die (), a second intermediate die production step using the first intermediate die (), and a wafer lens production step using the second intermediate die (). A first intermediate-die substrate () is provided with a depressed section () on the surface facing the die (). When photo-curable resin (A) is pressed, at least a portion closer to the first intermediate-die substrate () among the top () and the peripheral section () of the die () is arranged in the depressed section (), and a gap is provided so that the die () does not contact with a depressed plane () of the depressed section ().
