Abstract

A series of mechanical tests have been conducted on bonded silicon to silicon (native oxide present only) and oxide to oxide wafers at several times and temperatures. Tensile tests have been designed to evaluate the strength of the bond. Tensile tests have been conducted over the full range of bond strengths ranging from the weak van der Waals forces to the full silicon bonds.
