A METHOD FOR BONDING A CHIP TO A WAFER

摘要

A method for chip on wafer bonding is provided. The method includes the formation of a plurality of posts on at least one of a chip and a wafer, and a like plurality of contacts on the other of the chip and the wafer. After formation, a contact surface of each post is planarized, the respective planarized contact surface having a surface roughness height. A bonding material is then applied to at least one of the chip in a thickness no greater than the surface roughness height of the contact surface. The posts are then temporarily bonded to the contacts using the bonding material to stabilize a position of the chip relative to the wafer for permanent diffusion bonding of the chip to the wafer.
