Temperature and stress distribution in the SOI structure during fabrication by Tan, Cher Ming, Gan, Zhenghao, Gao, Xiaofang

“…Although it is expected that the furnace temperature and withdrawal velocity are the key factors in determining the mechanical stresses, for the present bonding strength of wafers via wafer bonding technology, the withdrawal velocity must be less than 100 mm/min, and under such a withdrawal velocity, the furnace temperature is also an insignificant factor with regard to the induced stress.…”
