Some of the as-sputtered copper nitride is annealed at 300°C in a vacuum chamber for an hour, resulting in the reduction of the copper nitride into copper. To study its physical and chemical stability, the as-sputtered copper nitride is exposed to the cleanroom environment for varying duration. The exposed copper nitride is characterized for its sheet resistance and water contact angle. Simultaneously, the copper nitride-copper nitride direct bonding is performed at room temperature in cleanroom ambient. The pre-bonded samples are further annealed at 300°C for an hour. The bonded samples are examined for their shear strength to assess the bonding quality.","PeriodicalId":198318,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Workshop on Low Temperature Bonding for 3D Integration (LTB-3D)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132536870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bond strength is the most important factor for the evaluation of mechanical reliability of the bonding interface, although the measured value depends on the surrounding atmosphere, especially presence of water. In order to quantify the effect of the measurement atmosphere on the bond quality, we developed a new methodology of the bond strength measurement under controlled atmosphere. The bond strengths of bonded silicon nitride wafers are measured using double cantilever beam method in ambient air, dry N2 gas, and under high vacuum. The bonding strength is, in descending order, in vacuum, in N2, and in air. The experimental results suggest that the measurement of bond strength in a controlled atmosphere evaluates the effect of residual water at the bond interface, as well as stress corrosion caused by water in the atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":198318,"journal":{"name":"2021 7th International Workshop on Low Temperature Bonding for 3D Integration (LTB-3D)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127320048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
