A simple method on fabricating a novel structure of microlens–micromirrors array (MMA) with 100% fill factor and smooth surface profile is presented. The MMA has a special structure, which has a microlens array with foot diameter of 35 μm on the upper layer and a micromirrors array with top width of 50 μm and bottom width of 30 μm on the lower layer. These two arrays are connected by a thin layer of silicon. The new structure has potential to integrate with infrared focal plane arrays (IRFPAs). An analytical optical model is established and experimentally verified; results show that all of the incident infrared lights within a certain range can be absorbed by the photosensitive surface of IRFPAs with this structure. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
