We report on the photoresponse of p-Si/n-SiC heterojunctions and the electrical characteristics of SiC/Si hetero-junction bipolar transistors (HBTs), both of which are fabricated by bonding SiC and Si layers. We find that in the photoresponse measurements the square root of the quantum yield almost linearly depends on the photon energy and the absorption edge (1.2 v) is close to the bandgap of Si (1.12 eV), which implies that the achieved signal is attributed to the minority electrons optically excited in the p-Si layer and collected in the n-SiC layer across the hetero-interfaces. The characteristics of the SiC/Si HBTs reveal the common-base current gain α of « 0.9 for the base-collector bias voltage of 0 V at room temperature. These results indicate that SiC/Si hetero-interfaces are applicable for novel minority-carrier-based semiconductor devices.

Cu-to-Cu direct bonding is one of the key technologies for 3D (three-dimensional) chip stacking. This research proposes a new concept to enhance Cu-Cu direct bonding through the control of residual stresses on bonding surface. Compressive residual stress induced by near-infrared radiation (NIR) enhances the diffusion of copper atoms and thus direct bonding. Subjected to thermal compression bonding at 250°C for 5 min under 10 MPa in N2, joint strength of 28.9MPa between two Cu films exposed with NIR for 10 sec can be obtained.
cu - cu直接键合是三维芯片叠层的关键技术之一。本研究提出了通过控制键合表面残余应力来增强Cu-Cu直接键合的新思路。近红外辐射(NIR)引起的压缩残余应力增强了铜原子的扩散,从而促进了直接键合。在N2中,在250℃、10 MPa、5 min条件下进行热压键合,近红外暴露10秒后,两层Cu膜的连接强度可达28.9MPa。

It has been proposed that Cu-Ag alloys exhibit longer eletromigration life time than Cu as well as superior electrochemical migration resistance than Ag. Our group developed a new kind of Cu-Ag composite paste which is capable of achieving bonding at low processing temperatures under low bonding pressure. It comprises carboxylate-coated Ag nanoparticles, spary-pyrolyz ed Ag submicron particles and copper formate, which can be applied to interconnection and bonding as well. After being bonded at 160°C under loading of 1.6 MPa for 30 min, the joints with Cu substrates possess bonding strength of 15.9MPa and those with Ag surface finish showing shear strength of 19.4 MPa. The electrical resistivity of the sintered structure thus obtained is 50.8 μΩ-cm.

We used surface-activated wafer-bonding (SAB) at low temperatures for the fabrication of advanced four-junction solar cells. The bonded heterojunctions are optimized regarding high electrical conductivity to avoid voltage losses especially for devices operating with high-current densities. Wafer-bonded 4-junction solar cells are today reaching the highest efficiencies for sunlight conversion into electricity and offer possible applications for space as well as concentrating photovoltaics.

The electrical properties of n-Si/ITO/n-Si, n-Si/ITO/p-Si, and p-Si/ITO/n-Si junctions fabricated by surface activated bonding (SAB) were investigated. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of n-Si/ITO/n-Si, n-Si/ITO/p-Si, and p-Si/ITO/n-Si junctions showed excellent linearity. The interface resistance of n-Si/ITO/p-Si junctions was found to be 0.0249 O·cm2, which is the smallest value observed in all the samples.

Room temperature direct wafer bonding of SiC-SiC by standard surface-activated bonding (SAB) and modified SAB with a Si-containing Ar ion beam were compared in terms of bonding energy, interface structure and composition. Compared with that obtained by standard SAB, the bonding interface obtained by modified SAB with a Si-containing Ar ion beam is >30% stronger, which should be due to the in situ Si compensation during surface activation by the Si-containing Ar ion beam.

Wafer-level thermocompression bonding (TCB) using aluminum (Al) is presented as a hermetic sealing method for MEMS. The process is a CMOS compatible alternative to TCB using metals like gold (Au) and copper (Cu), which are problematic with respect to cross contamination in labs. Au and Cu are commonly used for TCB and the oxidation of these metals is limited (Au) or easily controlled (Cu). However, despite Al oxidation, our experimental results and theoretical considerations show that TCB using Al is feasible even at temperatures down to 300–350 °C using a commercial bonder without in-situ surface treatment capability.
