AbstractA typical copper-copper thermocompression bonding process is carried out in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) or inert environment at a bonding temperature >300°C. The ultraclean environment serves a single purpose – to maintain oxide-free copper surfaces, allowing intimate physical contact between copper atoms. This study investigates the temperature dependence of direct copper bonding from room temperature to 300°C under ambient condition. An anomalous thermal dependence of bond strength occurs between 80°C to 140°C where an increase in bonding temperature within this regime is in fact, detrimental to joint strength. This is interpreted as a thermal competition between oxidation and bond formation. This study also demonstrates that by simply coating the copper surface with a self assembled monolayer of 1-undecanethiol prior to bonding, Cu joints can be successfully formed at close to ambient temperature without a vacuum, yielding joint shear strengths on the order of 70MPa. The densely packed monolayer serves to passivate the copper surface against oxidation under ambient conditions. The ultrathin organic monolayer structure, as compared to a bulk oxide layer, could be easily displaced during the mechanical deformation at the bonding interface which accompanies thermocompression. This method could be an effective simple bonding solution for three-dimensional integrated chips.

This study presents the long time effects of varying temperature conditions on pH-responsive films deposited on glass slides. The films were fabricated from Brilliant Yellow and poly (allylamine hydrochloride) through ionically self-assembled monolayer technique using an automated slide strainer. The absorbance of the films was monitored and the effect of varying temperature on the optical properties of the films was studied. We found that as the films are maintained at increasing temperatures their absorbance slightly decreased. As the temperature increased the percent change decreased reaching a plateau. Films kept at low temperatures of 3.24 °C and below freezing (-9.02 °C) had a small increase in absorbance. Finally, we monitored the absorbance of films kept at room temperature over a long time (128 days) and found that the films showed decreased absorbance by 19%.

ABSTRACTNon (0001) GalnN QWs have been grown by low pressure MOVPE on side facets of triangular shaped selectively grown GaN stripes. By analysing low temperature photo- and cathodoluminescence and room temperature electroluminescence, we found strong indications, that both, In and Mg are less efficiently incorporated on these side facets compared to the common (0001) plane with even lower efficiency for stripes running along (1–100) compared to (11–20). Nevertheless, we observed strong light emission from these quantum wells, supposed to be at least partly caused by the reduced piezo-electric field.
