Abstract

Vertical or 3D integration is taking hold in both the CMOS IC industry and the MEMS industry. The need for smaller devices, lower power, increased functionality, and lower cost are driving the market toward chip and wafer level stacking. Equipment suppliers have been faced with numerous challenges to meet the demands of these emerging bonding applications. This paper will discuss the confederacy of alignment, bonding and materials unions that can lead to successful outcomes in integrated manufacturing.

1. Alignment strategies for 3D integration: IR, BSA, and ISA as they pertain to specific bond methods

2. Pros and Cons of 3D Bonding Techniques (Direct bonds, metal, adhesive, and eutectic)

3. Error analysis in alignment of 3D structures
