Thermal or anodic bonding (Suss MicroTec SB6e) with alignment allows for thermocompression or anodic bonding of substrates from 1 to 4 inches. We perform proximity (200µm spacer) or contact bonding of substrates with an alignment accuracy of 1 to 3 µm depending on material constraints. The use of a graphite pad (500µm) minimizes stresses and bonding can be performed under N2 purge or secondary vacuum.
