Low temperature 3D wafers bonding using Cu nanorods

Figure 1. Schematic illustration of wafer bonding by Cu nanorod array at a temperature of <400°C. The inset in the upper left corner shows a SEM image of as-deposited Cu nanorods with ~10-30 nm diameter. The nanorods were deposited by the oblique angle deposition onto the wafers at room temperature using electron beam evaporation technique with pre-sputtered Ta and Cu films on the wafers. After the wafer bonding process the bonded region consists of homogeneous Cu grains.
