Publication number: 20240084455Abstract: Some implementations described herein include systems and techniques for fabricating a wafer-on-wafer product using a filled lateral gap between beveled regions of wafers included in a stacked-wafer assembly and along a perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly. The systems and techniques include a deposition tool having an electrode with a protrusion that enhances an electromagnetic field along the perimeter region of the stacked-wafer assembly during a deposition operation performed by the deposition tool. Relative to an electromagnetic field generated by a deposition tool not including the electrode with the protrusion, the enhanced electromagnetic field improves the deposition operation so that a supporting fill material may be sufficiently deposited.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Che Wei YANG, Chih Cheng SHIH, Kuo Liang LU, Yu JIANG, Sheng-Chan LI, Kuo-Ming WU, Sheng-Chau CHEN, Chung-Yi YU, Cheng-Yuan TSAI
