What it is

The EV Group 850 LT is an automated SOI and direct wafer bonding system. The EV Group 850 LT is intended for mechanically aligned SOI and direct wafer bonding with LowTemp plasma activation. The EV Group 850 LT is designed for high volume production. The EV Group 850 LT combines cleaning, alignment, pre-bonding, and IR inspection in one system.[1][3][5]

How it works

The EV Group 850 LT can include a fully automated ergo load cassette station, material mapping units, an additional standard pre-aligner, a wafer ID reader, rejected wafer sorting software, and SECS/GEM and EDA interfaces. The EV Group 850 LT can also include spinner chuck cleaning capability for 100 mm to 200 mm wafers, DI water dispense, chemistry lines, nitrogen drying, a vacuum system for the bond module, and high frequency and low frequency RF generators with matching units.[2][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The EV Group 850 LT sits after wafer cleaning and surface preparation and before downstream anneal or layer transfer steps used to complete bonded substrate formation. The EV Group 850 LT is used in SOI manufacturing, where accurate bonding is a key factor in obtaining high quality single crystalline silicon films on insulating substrates.[3][1]

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer bonders are used wherever whole wafers must be joined with controlled interface quality for substrate creation, layer transfer, stacked device construction, or cavity sealing. Plasma activated direct bonding is used when processes seek stronger initial interface formation at lower thermal budget than a purely untreated surface approach.
