EVG®850 LT

Automated Production Bonding System for SOI and Direct Wafer Bonding

Automated production bonding system for a wide range of fusion/molecular wafer bonding applications

Wafer bonding is one key enabling technology for the SOI wafer fabrication process as well as for wafer-level 3D integration and advanced packaging. With the EVG850 LT automated production bonding system for mechanically aligned SOI and direct wafer bonding with LowTemp™ plasma activation, all essential steps for fusion bonding – from cleaning, plasma activation and alignment to pre-bonding and IR-inspection – are combined. Thus, the field-proven, industry-standard EVG850 LT assures a high-throughput, high-yield production process for void-free SOI wafers up to 300 mm sizes.
