Popis: We demonstrate photoacoustic thermal imaging of the voids occurring at the interface of directly bonded silicon wafers. The wafers are not touched by probes, minimizing wafer contamination, and the technique does not require the outer surfaces of the bonded wafers to be polished. The method is effective for infrared-opaque materials, as demonstrated by coating a silicon bonded pair with bismuth and obtaining an improvement in the contrast.
