Abstract: An element, a bonded structure including the element, and a method forming the element and the bonded structure are disclosed. The element can include a non-conductive region having a cavity. The element can include a conductive feature formed in the cavity. The conductive feature includes a center portion and an edge portion having first and second coefficients of thermal expansion respectively. The center and edge portions are recessed relative to a contact surface of the non-conductive region by a first depth and a second depth respectively. The first coefficient of thermal expansion can be at least 5% greater than the second coefficient of thermal expansion. The bonded structure can include the element and a second element having a second non-conductive region and a second conductive feature. A conductive interface between the first and second conductive features has a center region and an edge region. In a side cross-section of the bonded structure, there are more voids at or near the edge region than at or near the center region.

Abstract: Representative implementations provide techniques and systems for processing integrated circuit (IC) dies. Dies being prepared for intimate surface bonding (to other dies, to substrates, to another surface, etc.) may be processed with a minimum of handling, to prevent contamination of the surfaces or the edges of the dies. The techniques include processing dies while the dies are on a dicing sheet or other device processing film or surface. Systems include integrated cleaning components arranged to perform multiple cleaning processes simultaneously.

Abstract: Devices and techniques including process steps make use of recesses in conductive interconnect structures to form reliable low temperature metallic bonds. A fill layer is deposited into the recesses prior to bonding. First conductive interconnect structures are bonded at ambient temperatures to second metallic interconnect structures using direct bonding techniques, with the fill layers in the recesses in one or both of the first and second interconnect structures.

Abstract: Techniques for joining dissimilar materials in microelectronics are provided. Example techniques direct-bond dissimilar materials at an ambient room temperature, using a thin oxide, carbide, nitride, carbonitride, or oxynitride intermediary with a thickness between 100-1000 nanometers. The intermediary may comprise silicon. The dissimilar materials may have significantly different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) and/or significantly different crystal-lattice unit cell geometries or dimensions, conventionally resulting in too much strain to make direct-bonding feasible. A curing period at ambient room temperature after the direct bonding of dissimilar materials allows direct bonds to strengthen by over 200%. A relatively low temperature anneal applied slowly at a rate of 1° C. temperature increase per minute, or less, further strengthens and consolidates the direct bonds. The example techniques can direct-bond lithium tantalate LiTaO3 to various conventional substrates in a process for making various novel optical and acoustic devices.

Abstract: Representative implementations of techniques and devices are used to reduce or prevent conductive material diffusion into insulating or dielectric material of bonded substrates. Misaligned conductive structures can come into direct contact with a dielectric portion of the substrates due to overlap, especially while employing direct bonding techniques. A barrier interface that can inhibit the diffusion is disposed generally between the conductive material and the dielectric at the overlap.

Abstract: A bonding method is disclosed. The bonding method can include providing a first element having a device portion and a first nonconductive bonding material disposed over the device portion of the first element. The bonding method can include providing a second element that includes a carrier. The second element having a substrate and a second nonconductive bonding material disposed over the substrate of the second element. The bonding method can include depositing a release layer between the device portion and the first nonconductive bonding material of the first element or between the substrate and the second nonconductive bonding material of the second element. The bonding method can include directly bonding the first nonconductive bonding material of the first element to the second nonconductive bonding material of the second element without an intervening adhesive. The bonding method can include removing the second element from the first element by transferring thermal energy to the release layer to thereby induce diffusion of gas including volatile species out of the release layer.
