Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing micromachined devices on a substrate (10) comprising electrical circuitry, the micromachined devices comprising at least one micromachined structure, without affecting the underlying electrical circuitry. The method comprises providing a protection layer (15) on the substrate (10); providing on the protection layer (15) a plurality of patterned layers for forming the at least one micromachined structure, the plurality of patterned layers comprising at least one sacrificial layer (18); and thereafter removing at least a portion of the sacrificial layer (18) to release the at least one micromachined structure. The method furthermore comprises, before providing the protection layer (15), annealing the substrate (10) at a temperature higher than a highest temperature used during manufacturing of the micromachined device, annealing being for preventing gas formation underneath the protection layer (15) during subsequent manufacturing steps. The present invention also provides a micromachined device obtained by the method according to embodiments of the present invention.

Abstract: An integrated circuit for an imaging system has an array of optical sensors (40), and an array of optical filters (10) each configured to pass a band of wavelengths onto one or more of the sensors, the array of optical filters being integrated with the array of sensors, and the integrated circuit also having read out circuitry (30) to read out pixel values from the array of sensors to represent an image, different ones of the optical filters being configured to have a different thickness, to pass different bands of wavelengths by means of interference, to allow detection of a spectrum of wavelengths. The read out circuitry can enable multiple pixels under one optical filter to be read out in parallel. The thicknesses may vary non monotonically across the array. The read out, or later image processing, may involve selection or interpolation between wavelengths, to carry out spectral sampling or shifting, to compensate for thickness errors.

Abstract: The invention refers to an integrated circuit for an imaging system having arrays of optical sensors (40) and of optical filters (10), integrated with each other, each configured to pass a band of wavelengths, and further having read out circuitry (30) to read out pixel values from the array of sensors (40) to represent an image. Different ones of the optical filters (10) have different thicknesses to pass different bands of wavelengths by means of interference, to allow detection of a spectrum of wavelengths. The read out circuitry (30) has a wavelength selector for selecting between or combining read out signals of corresponding pixels of different optical filters (10). The invention further refers to an imaging system comprising such an integrated circuit and to a method of operating the imaging system to produce an output image by performing hyperspectral imaging.
