A non-abrading method to facilitate bonding of semiconductor components, such as silicon wafers, that have micro structural defects in a bonding interface surface. In a preferred method, micro structural defects are removed by forming an oxide layer on the bonding interface surface to a depth below the level of the defect, and then removing the oxide layer to expose a satisfactory surface for bonding, thereby increasing line yield and reducing scrap triggers in fabrication facilities. |
