摘要
Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkane-thiol is formed on copper (Cu) thin layer coated on silicon (Si) wafer with the aim to protect the surface against excessive oxidation during storage in the room ambient. After 3 days of storage, the temporary SAM layer is desorbed with in situ anneal in inert ambient to uncover the clean Cu surface. A pair of wafers is bonded at 250 degrees C. Clear evidences of in-plane and out-of-plane Cu grain growth are observed resulting in a wiggling bonding interface. This gives rise to enhancement in shear strength in the bonded Cu-Cu layer.
