H. Yokoi et al., IMPROVED HEAT-TREATMENT FOR WAFER DIRECT BONDING BETWEEN SEMICONDUCTORS AND MAGNETIC GARNETS, JPN J A P 1, 36(5A), 1997, pp. 2784-2787
The optical propagation loss of rib waveguides fabricated on magnetic
garnet films increased upon annealing in H-2 ambient during wafer dire
ct bonding. The heat treatment in wafer direct bonding between InP and
Gd3Ga5O12 was investigated with the aim of circumventing the loss inc
rease. The bonding was achieved by heat treatment in H-2 ambient at te
mperatures of less than or equal to 330 degrees C of in N-2 ambient.
