We have observed that silicon surfaces activated in an Ar plasma form very strong bonds after a low temperature anneal. However, voids formed by Ar gas bubbles develop during the annealing process. This work provides insight into generalized plasma assisted bonding of material surfaces used in micro-(electronic/optical/mechanical) devices.
