What it is
The EV Group 520 is a wafer bonder. The EVG520 IS is a semi-automated wafer bonding system. The EVG520 IS can be configured as a single- or dual-chamber wafer bonding system for low-volume production. The EVG520 IS is compatible with EVG mechanical and optical aligners. The EVG520 IS supports manual loading and unloading.[5]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer bonding tools are typically placed after substrate preparation, deposited bond-layer formation, or surface activation, depending on the integration scheme. Wafer bonding tools are used before thinning, singulation, stack reveal, or downstream assembly steps that depend on the bonded pair. Wafer bonding tools often connect upstream alignment and cleaning work with downstream packaging, interconnect formation, or layer transfer sequences.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer bonding systems are used where joined substrates must remain registered while mechanical, thermal, or electrical coupling is created across an interface. Wafer bonding systems are used for bonded stacks in packaging, sensor construction, microelectromechanical fabrication, compound substrate creation, and other integration flows that rely on permanent joining. Wafer bonding systems can support direct bonds or bonds formed through intermediate layers, depending on the prepared materials and process scheme.
