Download or read book Semiconductor Wafer Bonding 9: Science, Technology, and Applications written by Helmut Baumgart and published by The Electrochemical Society. This book was released on 2006 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue of ECS Transactions covers state-of-the-art R&D results of the last 1.5 years in the field of semiconductor wafer bonding technology. Wafer Bonding Technology can be used to create novel composite materials systems and devices what would otherwise be unattainable. Wafer bonding today is rapidly expanding applications in such diverse fields as photonics, sensors, MEMS, X-ray optics, non-electronic microstructures, high performance CMOS platforms for high end servers, Si-Ge, strained SOI, Germanium-on-Insulator (GeOI), and Nanotechnologies.
