Abstract
Synchrotron X-Ray Topography (SXRT) has been performed on a germanium-silicon substrate fabricated by direct wafer bonding. SXRT allows for quantification of the stress at the bonded interface. This non-invasive techniques help assess the likelihood of defect nucleation induced by the bonding process. This study shows that the stress at the interface, when bonded at 300°C is an order of magnitude lower than the level required to cause spontaneous nucleation of threading dislocations.
