Abstract
ABSTRACTThe use of H2SO4:H2O2:HF (SPFM) at low HF concentrations (10 to 1000 ppm) has been investigated as the preparation procedure prior to formation of Si/Si interfaces by wafer bonding. The SPFM cleaning process makes it possible to form a hydrophilic (OH terminated) silicon surface, thereby achieving a spontaneous and strong room temperature bond. Electrical characterization using current vs voltage and spreading resistance measurements shows that this cleaning procedure can be used to form Si/Si junctions with excellent electrical properties. Some of the problems related to hydrophobic wafer bonding can thus be circumvented by the proposed technique.
