Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for formation of a bond site including an opening with a discontinuous profile are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may at least include a substrate, a contact on the substrate, and a mask layer formed on the substrate and at least a portion of the contact. The mask layer may also include an opening formed therein, with the opening having a discontinuous profile from a top surface of the mask layer to the contact.

Abstract:
Methods of forming devices, including LED devices, are described. The devices may include fluorinated compound layers. The methods described may utilize a plasma treatment to form the fluorinated compound layers. The methods described may operate to produce an intermetallic layer that bonds two substrates such as semiconductor wafers together in a relatively efficient and inexpensive manner.
