14. A component, comprising:
-
an optical element with an optically transparent substrate of alkali containing glass; a coating on a surface of the substrate; and a second substrate connected to the optically transparent substrate, the second substrate being connected to the optically transparent substrate by an anodic bond at an area of the surface covered with the coating so that the coating is arranged between the optically transparent substrate and the second substrate and is in direct contact with both the optically transparent substrate and the second substrate. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A wafer package, comprising:
-
an optically transparent wafer; a second wafer with a plurality of optoelectronic or optomechanical elements; and a coating covering a side of the optically transparent wafer facing the second wafer, the optically transparent wafer and the second wafer being bonded together at bonding areas with anodic bonding, the coating extending across the bonding areas so that the coating contacts the second wafer and the anodic bonds are formed between the coating and the second wafer.

22. A method for fabricating a component with an optical element, the method comprising:
-
providing an optically transparent substrate of an alkali containing glass; depositing a coating on a surface of the substrate, the coating enabling anodic bonding of the alkali containing glass on an area of the surface that is covered with the coating; bringing a second substrate into contact with the coating on the optically transparent substrate; heating the optically transparent substrate up to a temperature that enables diffusion of alkali ions in the glass; and applying a voltage across a stack of the optically transparent substrate and the second substrate so that alkali ions migrate within the bulk of the glass creating an alkali depletion zone and the optically transparent substrate with coating under the influence of the electrostatic field generated by the applied voltage and ion depletion zone at an interface and the second substrate are bonded together. - View Dependent Claims (23)
