Abstract:
A support is provided, including a reception zone in which the external envelope matches the shape of a plate configured to be placed on a droplet deposited at least in the reception zone in order to achieve capillary self-assembly of the plate and the support, and at least one pair of tracks that extend on the support from the reception zone and that have a lyophilic-type affinity with the droplet such that an overflow of the droplet beyond the reception zone is guided in the tracks, wherein the at least one pair of tracks includes a first track and a second track that do not have the same lyophilic-type degree of affinity with the droplet.
Abstract:
According to one aspect, there is proposed a method for assembling two integrated circuit wafers. The method includes removing by abrasion of a portion of an assembly face of a first wafer on a perimeter of the first wafer, and bonding the assembly face of the first wafer to an assembly face of a second integrated circuit wafer.
Abstract:
A method for capillary self-assembly of a plate and a carrier, including: forming an etching mask on a region of a substrate; reactive-ion etching the substrate, the etching using a series of cycles each including isotropic etching followed by surface passivation, wherein a duration of the isotropic etching for each cycle increases from one cycle to another, a ratio between durations of the passivation and etching of each cycle is lower than a ratio for carrying out a vertical anisotropic etching to form a carrier having an upper surface defined by the region and side walls defining an acute angle with the upper surface; removing the etching mask; placing a droplet on the upper surface of the carrier; and placing the plate on the droplet.
Abstract:
Support comprising a reception zone in which the external envelope matches the shape of a plate (P2) designed to be placed on a droplet deposited at least in the reception zone in order to achieve capillary self-assembly of the plate and the support, and at least one pair of tracks (T11, T12) that extend on the support from the reception zone and that have a lyophilic type affinity with the droplet such that an overflow of the droplet beyond the reception zone is guided in the tracks, characterised in that the at least one pair of tracks comprises a first track (T11) and a second track (T12) that do not have the same lyophilic type degree of affinity with the droplet.
