An overview of the different metal bonding techniques used for 3D integration is presented. Key parameters such as surface preparation, temperature and duration of annealing, achievable wafer-to-wafer alignment and electrical results are reviewed. A special focus is done on direct bonding of patterned metal/dielectric surfaces. A mechanism for copper direct bonding is proposed based on bonding toughness measurements, SAM, XRR, XRD, and TEM analysis. Dedicated characterization techniques for such bonding are presented.
