Room Temperature Bonding of Wafers Using Si and Ge Films with Extremely Low Electrical Conductivity

The technical potential of room temperature bonding of wafers in vacuum using amorphous Si (a-Si) and Ge (a-Ge) films was studied. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed no interface corresponding to the original films surfaces for bonded a–Ge–a–Ge films. Analyses of film structure and the surface free energy at the bonded interface revealed higher bonding potential at the connected a–Ge–a–Ge interface than that of a–Si films. The electrical resistivity of a-Ge films is 0.62 Ωm, which is lower than that of a-Si film (4.7 Ωm), but 7–8 order higher than that of representative material films used for bonding in vacuum. Our results indicate that room temperature bonding using a–Ge films is useful to bond wafers without any marked influence on the electrical properties of devices on wafer surfaces caused by the electrical conductivity of films used for bonding.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.

Ge(Germanium) Single Crystals and Wafers

PAM-XIAMEN offers 2”, 3”, 4” and 6” germanium wafer, which is short for Ge wafer grown by VGF / LEC. Lightly doped P and N type Germanium wafer can be also used for Hall effect experiment. At room temperature, crystalline germanium is brittle and has little plasticity. Germanium has semiconductor properties. High-purity germanium is doped with trivalent elements (such as indium, gallium, boron) to obtain P-type germanium semiconductors; and pentavalent elements (such as antimony, arsenic, and phosphorus) are doped to obtain N-type germanium semiconductors. Germanium has good semiconductor properties, such as high electron mobility and high hole mobility.
