전기로를 이용한 Si || SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 || Si 이종기판쌍의 직접접합
Direct Bonding of Si || SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 || Si Wafer Pairs With a Furnace

We investigated the possibility of direct bonding of the Si ∥SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 ∥Si wafers for Oxide-Nitride-Oxide(ONO) gate oxide applications. 10cm-diameter 2000 \AA -thick thermal oxide/Si(100) and 500 \AA -Si 3 N 4 LPCVD/Si (100) wafers were prepared, and wet cleaned to activate the surface as hydrophilic and hydrophobic states, respectively. Cleaned wafers were premated wish facing the mirror planes by a specially designed aligner in class-100 clean room immediately. Premated wafer pairs were annealed by an electric furnace at the temperatures of 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 120 0 ? C for 2hours, respectively. Direct bonded wafer pairs were characterized the bond area with a infrared(IR) analyzer, and measured the bonding interface energy by a razor blade crack opening method. We confirmed that the bond interface energy became 2,344mJ/ \m 2 when annealing temperature reached 100 0 ? C , which were comparable with the interface energy of homeogenous wafer pairs of Si/Si.
