Abstract:
Methods of bonding together semiconductor structures include annealing a first metal feature on a first semiconductor structure, bonding the first metal feature to a second metal feature of a second semiconductor structure to form a bonded metal structure that comprises the first metal feature and the second metal feature, and annealing the bonded metal structure. Annealing the first metal feature may comprise subjecting the first metal feature to a pre-bonding thermal budget, and annealing the bonded metal structure may comprise subjecting the bonded metal structure to a post-bonding thermal budget that is less than the pre-bonding thermal budget. Bonded semiconductor structures are fabricated using such methods.

Abstract:
A method of bonding between a first surface (1) provided with at least one copper zone (3), surrounded by a silicon oxide zone (4) and a second surface (1') comprises an operation of treating the first surface (1) with a plasma before the first surface (1) is brought into contact with the second surface (V). The plasma is generated from a gas source containing an agent for nitriding the silicon oxide and an agent for reducing the copper oxide, based on hydrogen. The gas source may comprise an N2/NH3 and/or N2/H2 gas mixture or even an N2O/H2 gas mixture or else ammonia gas, which then acts both as nitriding agent and reducing agent. The plasma obtained from this gas source then necessarily comprises nitrogen and hydrogen, thereby making it possible, in a single operation, to provide a strong bond between the first and second surfaces (1, 1').
