Wafer Bonding and Layer Splitting for Microsystems**
نویسنده
چکیده
In advanced microsystems various types of devices (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors, bipolar transistors, sensors, actuators, microelectromechanical systems, lasers) may be on the same chip, some of which are 3D structures in nature. Therefore, not only materials combinations (integrated materials) are required for optimal device performance of each type but also process technologies for 3D device fabrication are essential. Wafer bonding and layer transfer are two of the fundamental technologies for the fabrication of advanced microsystems. In this review, the generic nature of both wafer bonding and hydrogen-implantation-induced layer splitting are discussed. The basic processes underlying wafer bonding and the layer splitting process are presented. Examples of bonding and layer splitting of bare or processed semiconductor and oxide wafers are described.

Manufacturing costs for microsystems/MEMS using high aspect ratio microfabrication techniques
The emphasis on high aspect ratio micromachining techniques for microsystems/MEMS has been mainly to achieve novel devices with, for example, high sensing or actuation performance. Often these utilize deep structures (100–1,000 lm) with vertical wall layers but with relatively modest spatial resolution (1–10 lm). As these techniques move from research to industrial manufacture, the capital cost...
متن کاملSingle-Crystalline Ferroelectric Thin Films by Ion Implantation and Direct Wafer Bonding
Layer splitting by helium and/or hydrogen implantation and wafer bonding was applied to transfer thin single-crystalline ferroelectric layers onto different substrates. The optimum conditions for achieving blistering/splitting after post-implantation annealing were experimentally obtained for LiNbO3, LaAlO3, SrTiO3 single crystals and PLZT ceramic. Under certain implantation conditions large ar...
متن کاملWafer Bonding Techniques for Microsystem Packaging
In this paper, the development of wafer bonding techniques of the most frequently used materials Si-to-glass, glass-to-glass and Si-to-Si is reported. To improve the bond quality of Si-to-glass and make glass-to-glass bonding viable at bonding temperatures less than 300 C, a hydrogen-free amorphous silicon layer of 20-100 nm thickness is deposited as an intermediate layer. For Si-to-glass bondi...
متن کاملHeterogeneous material integration for MEMS
This thesis describes heterogeneous integration methods for the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Most MEMS devices reuse the fabrication techniques that are found in the microelectronics integrated circuit industry. This limits the selection of materials and processes that are feasible for the realization of MEMS devices. Heterogeneous integration methods, on the other hand...
متن کاملSmart-Cut Layer Transfer of Single-Crystal SiC Using Spin-on-Glass
The authors demonstrate “smart-cut”-type layer transfer of single-crystal silicon carbide (SiC) by using spinon-glass (SoG) as an adhesion layer. Using SoG as an adhesion layer is desirable because it can planarize the surface, facilitate an initial low temperature bond, and withstand the thermal stresses at high temperature where layer splitting occurs (800–900 °C). With SoG, the bonding of wa...
