P. Kopperschmidt et al., BACK-TO-BACK SUBSTRATE WAFER BONDING - A NEW APPROACH TO THE FABRICATION OF DOUBLE-SIDE COATED WAFERS, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 64(2), 1997, pp. 211-212
We present a novel method for fabrication of double side coated wafers
by back-to-back Direct Wafer Bonding (DWB). Two 3 inch sapphire wafer
s (R-cut) were coated each with YBa2Cu3O7-delta by laser ablation on o
ne side. The wafers were then directly bonded with their uncoated side
s together in a microcleanroom. Subsequent heating increased the bond
energy up to energies sufficient for fabrication of hybrid devices wor
king at cryogenic temperatures. TEM cross sections reveal direct conta
ct of the two sapphire lattices.
