Physics of direct bonding: Applications to 3D heterogeneous or monolithic integration

摘要

Direct wafer bonding and thinning technologies are now extensively used in combination to produce SOI wafers (silicon-on-insulators) or innovative engineered substrates. Emerging demands of new functionalities at the material or device level for 3D integration have allowed increasing the level of maturity of these technologies. This paper will review the physics of wafer direct bonding and its implementation for vertical integration devices of processed strata with vertical interconnects.
