Such bonding voids can be detrimental to the electrical properties of the devices being fabricated.In this study we have deposited W-particles with e-beam assisted deposition on the surface of SiCN-coated wafers, proceeded to bonding the wafers with a blanket counterpart and inspected the resulting bonding voids with a Scanning Acoustic Microscope.We could obtain a correlation between the sizes of the deposited particles and the respective induced voids – an amplification factor of 50x. Such correlation allows determining the sensitivity of bonding voids to the dimensions of particles at the bonding interface.engProceedings paper10.1109/asmc69324.2026.11551198WOS:001813326200029
