Popis: Wafer-level hydrophilic silicon direct bonding is demonstrated using ultraviolet ozone (UVO) activation. The activation is performed at room temperature in atmospheric ambient for 3, 6, 9, and 12 min under UVO exposure, respectively. The activation process helps to form a hydrophilic surface (contact angle < 7°) for hydrophilic bonding and to improve the surface roughness to C-V curves of the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors which are fabricated using UVO clean on the Si surface prove that prolonged exposure to UVO can degrade the bonding quality.
