The AWB systems offer the versatility to perform
in-situ aligned bonding of 2” to 8” wafers using a
wide range of techniques:
Anodic, Eutectic, Direct (High & Low Temperature), Adhesive,
Solder, Thermo-compression, Glass frit and ‘iCAB’ in-situ
chemistry align & bond.
In-situ Chemistry: AML’s unique in-situ alignment and process
capabilities enable chemical preparation (for example, oxide
removal in Cu-Cu bonding) or activation of the bonding surfaces
immediately before alignment and wafer contact, without
exposure to air between stages.
INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR ALIGNMENT AND BONDING:
  · In-situ alignment: 1 micron accuracy

  · Pressure: 10-6 mbar vacuum to 2 bar process gas  (UHV option also available)
  · Voltage: up to 2.5kV
  · Temperatures: up to 560°C - Wafers can be held at different temperatures
  · Contact force: up to 40kN
  · In-situ UV cure
  · Short cycle times: fast-bonding/high throughput
