Abstract
We report sample preparation and FIB-SEM investigation of polymer-microlens/CFA arrays of CMOS image sensor for investigating possible nanoscale voids. Polymer staining was employed to delineate boundaries of color filters and microlenses. Newly developed in-house auto-metrology software was used for dimension and uniformity study of SEM images of microlenses.
