A process for fabricating a micro-optical lens comprises forming a wall
post structure on a substrate, coating with a polymeric film on the wall
post, then making it adhering over both sides of the wall post structure
by a transverse etching on the substrate around the base of posts. After
an isolating process and a proper heating treatment, said polymeric film
cohering to form a plano-convex lens. By controlling the respective
amount of the polymeric film on both sides of said wall post structure,
the polymeric film can combine with the wall post structure to form a
composite material biconvex micro-lens, plano-convex micro-lens and the
like. Alternatively, a single material micro-lens can be formed by
imaging the profile of the polymeric micro-lens on the wall post
structure via an etching process.
