摘要:
A bonded device structure including a first substrate having a first set of metallic bonding pads, preferably connected to a device or circuit, and having a first non-metallic region adjacent to the metallic bonding pads on the first substrate, a second substrate having a second set of metallic bonding pads aligned with the first set of metallic bonding pads, preferably connected to a device or circuit, and having a second non-metallic region adjacent to the metallic bonding pads on the second substrate, and a contact-bonded interface between the first and second set of metallic bonding pads formed by contact bonding of the first non-metallic region to the second non-metallic region. At least one of the first and second substrates may be elastically deformed.
摘要:
A method of three-dimensionally integrating elements such as singulated die or wafers and an integrated structure having connected elements such as singulated dies or wafers. Either or both of the die and wafer may have semiconductor devices formed therein. A first element having a first contact structure (12, 82) is bonded to a second element having a second contact structure (17, 87). First and second contact structures can be exposed at bonding and electrically interconnected as a result of the bonding. A via (50, 55) may be etched and filled after bonding to expose and form an electrical interconnect to interconnected first and second contact structures and provide electrical access to this interconnect from a surface.; Alternatively, first and/or second contact structures are not exposed at bonding, and a via is etched and filled after bonding to electrically interconnect first and second contact structures and provide electrical access to interconnected first and second contact structure to a surface. Also, a device may be formed in a first substrate, the device being disposed in a device region of the first substrate and having a first contact structure. A via may be etched, or etched and filled, through the device region and into the first substrate before bonding and the first substrate thinned to expose the via, or filled via after bonding.
摘要:
A method for bonding at low or room temperature includes steps of surface cleaning and activation by cleaning or etching. One etching process The method may also include removing by-products of interface polymerization to prevent a reverse polymerization reaction to allow room temperature chemical bonding of materials such as silicon, silicon nitride and SiO 2 . The surfaces to be bonded are polished to a high degree of smoothness and planarity. VSE may use reactive ion etching or wet etching to slightly etch the surfaces being bonded. The surface roughness and planarity are not degraded and may be enhanced by the VSE process. The etched surfaces may be rinsed in solutions such as ammonium hydroxide or ammonium fluoride to promote the formation of desired bonding species on the surfaces.

A device integration method and integrated device. The method may include the steps of directly bonding a semiconductor device (14) having a substrate (20) to an element (10) and removing a portion of the substrate to expose a remaining portion of the semiconductor device after bonding. The element may include one of a substrate used for thermal spreading, impedance matching or for RF isolation, an antenna, and a matching network comprised of passive elements. A second thermal spreading substrate may be bonded to the remaining portion of the semiconductor device. Interconnections (51) may be made through the first or second substrates. The method may also include bonding a plurality of semiconductor devices (165) to an element (163), and the element may have recesses (167) in which the semiconductor devices are disposed. A conductor array (78) having a plurality of contact structures may be formed on an exposed surface of the semiconductor device (77), vias may be formed through the semiconductor device to device regions, and interconnection (81, 82, 83) may be formed between said device regions and said contact structures.

摘要:
A device integration method and integrated device. The method includes the steps of polishing surfaces of first (10) and second (30) workpieces each to a surface roughness of about 5-10Å. The polished surfaces of the first and second workpieces are bonded together. A surface of a third workpiece (32) is polished to the surface roughness. The surface of the third workpiece is bonded to the joined first and second workpieces. The first, second and third workpieces may each be a semiconductor device having a thin material formed on one surface, preferably in wafer form. The thin materials are polished to the desired surface roughness and then bonded together. The thin materials may each have a thickness of approximately 1-10 times the surface non-planarity of the material on which they are formed. Any number of devices may be bonded together, and the devices may be different types of devices or different technologies.
