Patent number: 11315789Abstract: Described herein is a method of bonding and/or debonding substrates. In one embodiment, at least one of the surfaces of the substrates to be bonded is comprised of an oxide. In one embodiment, the surfaces of both substrates comprise an oxide. A wet etch may then be utilized to debond the substrates by etching away the layers that have been bonded. In one embodiment, a fusion bonding process is utilized to bond two substrates, at least one substrate having a silicon oxide surface. In one exemplary etch, a dilute hydrofluoric (DHF) etch is utilized to etch the bonded silicon oxide surface, allowing for two bonded substrates to be debonded. In another embodiment, the silicon oxide may be a low density silicon oxide. In one embodiment, both substrates may have a surface layer of the low density silicon oxide which may be fusion bonded together.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Kiyotaka Imai, Hirokazu Aizawa, Hiroshi Maeda, Kaoru Maekawa, Yuji Mimura, Harunobu Suenaga
