Abstract
In this study, the effects of wafer warpage on the misalignment during wafer stacking process were investigated. The wafer with $45{\mu}m$ bow height warpage was purposely fabricated by depositing Cu thin film on a silicon wafer and the bonding misalignment after bonding was observed to range from $6{\mu}m$ to $15{\mu}m$. This misalignment could be explained by a combination of $5{\mu}m$ radial expansion and $10{\mu}m$ linear slip. The wafer warpage seemed to be responsible for the slip-induced misalignment instead of radial expansion misalignment.
