FOCAL PLANE ARRAY PACKAGING USING ISOSTATIC PRESSURE PROCESSING

摘要

A method for bonding a first semiconductor body having a plurality of electromagnetic radiation detectors to a second semiconductor body having read out integrated circuits for the detectors. The method includes: aligning electrical contacts for the plurality of electromagnetic radiation detectors with electrical contacts of the read out integrated circuits; tacking the aligned electrical contacts for the plurality of electromagnetic radiation detectors with electrical contacts of the read out integrated circuits to form an intermediate stage structure; packaging the intermediate stage structure into a vacuum sealed electrostatic shielding container having flexible walls; inserting the package with the intermediate stage structure therein into an isostatic pressure chamber; and applying the isostatic pressure to the intermediate stage structure through walls of the container. The container includes a stand-off to space walls of the container from edges of the first semiconductor body.
