    2005 SmartView® Semi-Automated Wafer-to-Wafer Bond Aligner The EV Group (EVG) Smartview® Bond aligner and EV Group (EVG) 540 Wafer Bonder are used in the production of MEMs and in the emerging fields of 3D IC Packaging and Through-Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects.

    A 3D integrated circuit (3D IC) is a single integrated circuit built by stacking silicon wafers and/or dies and interconnecting them vertically. This is achieved by persisly aligning devices on two silicon wafers and subsequently bonding them together. The result is they behave as a single device. By using TSV technology, 3D ICs can pack a great deal of functionality into a small “footprint.” This technology is not olny used in the production of MEMS, but also in the fabrication of CMOS image sensors, and memory devices.

  • Verify the bonding equipment’s alignment and bonding precision to maintain fabrication accuracy.
  • Check for the equipment’s capability to handle the specific wafer sizes used in your processes.
  • Consider the equipment's integration capabilities with existing fabrication lines, ensuring seamless operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wafer bonder used for?
A wafer bonder is used to join two semiconductor wafers together through thermal or adhesive bonding, often necessary in MEMS and advanced semiconductor device fabrication.
What temperature can a wafer hot plate reach?
Wafer hot plates can reach temperatures up to 200°C, providing controlled environments for processes such as resist curing and solvent evaporation in semiconductor fabrication.
How does a wafer taper function?
A wafer taper applies a protective film to the surface of a wafer, ensuring it is safeguarded during subsequent processing and handling.
What are the benefits of using a wafer detaper?
A wafer detaper efficiently removes protective films from wafers without causing any damage, maintaining wafer integrity for further fabrication steps.
