Abstract
The study demonstrates that microwave processing in a domestic microwave oven (2.45 GHz) can rapidly increase the bonding strength of Si/Si, Si/SiO 2, and SiO2/SiO2 pairs bonded through oxygen plasma surface activation. After 10-min, 900 W microwave processing, the bonding strength of the Si/SiO2 pair (2.4 J/m2) was almost twice the bonding strengths of the Si/Si and SiO2/SiO2 pairs (∼1.3 J/m2). Based on these bonding characteristics of the Si/SiO2 pair, we can employ a two-stage microwave processing technique, at powers of 540 W and 900 W, to transfer a silicon layer onto an 8" silicon handle wafer from the as-bonded stage in 30 min.
