I believe the microlenses get removed.. which reduces the QE from 60% to 40% (roughly). That still makes them equivalent to some of the lower-tier Kodak mono sensors... with the dark current of Sony sensors. Still a good deal particularly for the price.

There's been some interest in these sensors so I've attached an image of the underside of these chips.

Hi David,


Since the microlens layer overlies the Bayer layer, it too must be removed during this process.

regards,


Jim
