Aluminum–aluminum wafer bonding is becoming increasingly important in the production of CMOS microelectromechanical systems. So far, successful bonding has required extreme processing temperatures of 450 °C or more, because the chemically highly stable oxide layer acts as a diffusion barrier between the two aluminum metallization layers. By using the ComBond® system, in which a surface treatment and...
