Refractive microlenses are formed in semiconductor materials by transfer of a lens-like shape of reflowed erodable polyimide mask into the substrate by reactive ion etching. Simultaneous monitoring of the etch rates of the mask material and the semiconductor results in precise control of the lens ra
