Low-temperature Cu-Cu bonding technology plays a key role in high-density and high-performance 3D interconnects. Despite the advantages of good electrical and thermal conductivity and the potential for fine pitch patterns, Cu bonding is vulnerable to oxidation and the high temperature of the bonding process. In this study, chip-level Cu bonding using an Ag nanofilm at 150 °C and 180 °C was studied in air, and the effect of the Ag nanofilm was investigated. A 15-nm Ag nanofilm prevented Cu oxidation prior to the Cu bonding process in air. In the bonding process, Cu diffused rapidly to the bonding interface and pure Cu-Cu bonding occurred. However, some Ag was observed at the bonding interface due to the short bonding time of 30 min in the absence of annealing. The shear strength of the Cu/Ag-Ag/Cu bonding interface was measured to be about 23.27 MPa, with some Ag remaining at the interface. This study demonstrated the good bonding quality of Cu bonding using an Ag nanofilm at 150 °C.

A novel wafer level packaging method suitable for low production volumes, R&D, and multi-project wafers is presented, providing a hermetic seal suitable for vacuum encapsulation with wafers bonded at a low temperature. Hermetic through-wafer interconnects are bump bonded to a CMOS chip encapsulated by bonding a cap wafer after activating surfaces with free radicals, the Silicon-Silicon direct bond is then annealed to a high strength at 200°C to avoid chip damage. The application for which this system is proposed is an implantable multi-contact active nerve electrode for the treatment of epilepsy via vagus nerve stimulation. Although intended for human implantation of integrated systems, this technology may be applied across a range of devices requiring hermetic or vacuum sealing and through-wafer interconnection. Solid electroplated through-wafer interconnects (aspect ratio 5) enable hermetic interconnection of direct bonded packages with low connection impedance, offering benefits across a range of packaging applications. A key feature of this packaging method is it’s versatility, the proposed embodiment features chip to wafer bonding with an ASIC, but the package is equally suitable for MEMS devices and also for wafer to wafer bonding.
