Abstract

A method of direct wafer bonding using surfaces activated by a radiofrequency hydrogen plasma for the silicon on insulator (SOI) applications is described. The hydrogen plasma cleaning of silicon in the reactive ion etching mode is investigated as a pretreatment for silicon direct bonding. The scheme can reduce the concentration of carbon impurity at the surface below 5 at.% level. The surface becomes smoother with decreasing plasma exposure time and power.
