1. A method of reducing noise captured by an image sensor, the method comprising:

forming a glass covering;

affixing a bottom surface of the glass covering to the image sensor;

permitting light to impinge upon the glass covering; and

wherein the forming of the glass covering comprises shaping the glass covering such that when the light that impinges upon the glass covering impinges upon a sidewall of the glass covering, the sidewall reflects the light on a trajectory away from the image sensor.
