Abstract

A method of forming a planarized layer on a CCD device to permit a lens array to be formed which includes etching a B.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer provided on a conformally coated SiO.sub.2 layer until a sufficient amount of the deposited B.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer is removed to provide a planarized surface.
