I would be very interested in what you find out.  I will email my contacts
at some of the sensor fabs and ask them for more information if you like.

Clearly, microlenses are separate from the sensor array, and the low-pass &
IR filters are separate as well, as these two really have no special
alignment that I am aware of.  In fact, they are typically easily removable
on the MF and LF digibacks I have used.

Austin
