In this paper, the silicon-nitride membrane structure for IR sensor was fabricated through the etching and the direct bonding. The PT layer as a IR detection layer was deposited on the membrane and its characteristics were measured. The attack of PT layer during the etching of silicon wafer as well as the thermal isolation of the IR detection layer can be solved through the method of bonding/etching of silicon wafer. Because the PT layer of c-axial orientation rained thermal polarization without polling, the more integration capability can be achieved. The surface roughness of the membrane was measured by AFM, the micro voids and the non-contacted area were inspected by IR detector, and the bonding interface was observed by SEM. The polarization characteristics and the dielectric characteristics of the PT layer were measured, too.

Low temperature bonding of the silicon and glass using the Spin-on Glass (SOG) has been conducted experimentally to figure out the effects of the SOG solution composition and process variables on bond strength using the Design of Experiment method. In order to achieve the high quality bond interface without rack, sufficient reaction time of the optimal SOG solution composition is needed along with proper pressure and annealing temperature. The shear strength under the optimal SOG solution composition and process condition was higher than that of conventional anodic bonding and similar to that of wafer direct bonding.

실리콘 웨이퍼 직접 접합을 성공하기 위해서는 양호한 접합면을 구성하여야 하며, 이를 위해 접합면에서 발생하는 주요 결함 중 하나인 기포형 접합 결함을 억제하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 접합면에서 발생하는 기포형 결함의 상온 접합 및 열처리 과정에서의 거동을 관찰하여 내부의 압력이 증가함을 직접 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 대기압 하의 열처리에서 결함이 발생하지 않는 $SiO_2$-$SiO_2$ 접합 웨이퍼가 진공에서의 열처리에서 결함이 발생하는 현상을 통해 기포형 결함의 내부 압력과 성장과의 관계를 실험을 통하여 증명할 수 있었다.

We have investigated the effects of various wafers cleaning on glass/Si bonding using 4 inch Pyrex glass wafers and 4 inch silicon wafers. The various wafer cleaning methods were examined; SPM(sulfuric-peroxide mixture, $H_2SO_4:H_2O_2$ = 4 : 1, $120^{\circ}C$), RCA(company name, $NH_4OH:H_2O_2:H_2O$ = 1 : 1 : 5, $80^{\circ}C$), and combinations of those. The best room temperature bonding result was achieved when wafers were cleaned by SPM followed by RCA cleaning. The minimum increase in surface roughness measured by AFM(atomic force microscope) confirmed such results. During successive heat treatments, the bonding strength was improved with increased annealing temperatures up to $400^{\circ}C$, but debonding was observed at $450^{\circ}C$. The difference in thermal expansion coefficients between glass and Si wafer led debonding. When annealed at fixed temperatures(300 and $400^{\circ}C$), bonding strength was enhanced until 28 hours, but then decreased for further anneal. To find the cause of decrease in bonding strength in excessively long annealing time, the ion distribution at Si surface was investigated using SIMS(secondary ion mass spectrometry). tons such as sodium, which had been existed only in glass before annealing, were found at Si surface for long annealed samples. Decrease in bonding strength can be caused by the diffused sodium ions to pass the glass/si interface. Therefore, maximum bonding strength can be achieved when the cleaning procedure and the ion concentrations at interface are optimized in glass/Si wafer direct bonding.

The silicon-nirtide membrane structure for IR sensor was fabricated through the etching and the direct bonding. The PRO($PbTiO_3$ ) layer for a IR detection was coated on the membrane and its characteristics were measured.

The SOI structure with buried alumina was fabricated by ALD followed by bonding and etchback process. The interface of alumina and silicon was analyzed by CV measurements and cross section was investigated by SEM analysis. The density of interface state of alumina and silicon was 2.5E11/$cm^{2}$-eV after high temperature annealing for wafer bonding. It was confirmed that the surface silicon layer was completely isolated from substrate by cross section SEM and AES depth profile. The device on this alumina SOI structure would have better thermal properties than that on conventional SOI due to higher thermal conductivity of alumina than that of silicon dioxide.

본 연구는 Si/$SiO_2$/Si-sub 구조의 SDB(silicon-direct-bonding) 웨이퍼를 이용한 고온용 압력센서의 제작 및 특성을 연구한 것이다. 압력센서는 SDB 웨이퍼의 첫 번째 층의 단결정 실리콘을 이용하여 압저항을 제작하기 때문에 감도가 우수하며, 두 번째 층의 산화막으로 압저항과 실리콘 기판을 절연 분리하여, 일반적인 실리콘소자의 사용 온도 한계인 $120^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서도 사용이 가능하다. 제작된 압력센서는 고감도의 압력감도 및 센서 출력의 직선성 및 히스테리시스 특성이 매우 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

A modified direct bonding technique employing a wet chemical deposition of $SiO_2$ film on a wafer surface to be bonded is proposed for the fabrication of Si-$SiO_2$-Si structures. Structural and electrical quality of the bonded wafers is studied. Satisfied insulating properties of interfacial $SiO_2$ layers are demonstrated. Elastic strain caused by surface morphology is investigated. The diminution of strain in the grooved structures is semi-quantitatively interpreted by a model considering the virtual defects distributed over the interfacial region.
