Au±Si eutectic alloy formation by Si implantation in polycrystalline Au
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dierent doses of high-energy Si (0.2±4.5 MeV) were implanted in polycrystalline Au foils (35 lm thick) to form a low melting point Au±Si alloy which can be used for gold soldering. A Au±Si eutectic structure has been observed in the implanted Au foils after annealing at 400°C for 1 h. The Au±Si liquid phase was diused in the polycrystalline Au foil along the grain boundaries which were ̄attened by the initial rolling procedure. The presence of this eutectic alloy was also observed on the back of the Au foil. Nuclear (d,p) reactions induced by deuterons have been used to measure the concentration of the implanted Si in various depths in the Au foils. RBS was also used as a complementary technique to probe the Au concentration. SEM pictures indicate that an eutectic structure was induced in the implanted samples. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Investigation of Au/Si Eutectic Wafer Bonding for MEMS Accelerometers
Au/Si eutectic bonding is considered to BE a promising technology for creating 3D structures and hermetic packaging in micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices. However, it suffers from the problems of a non-uniform bonding interface and complex processes for the interconnection of metal wires. This paper presents a novel Au/Si eutectic wafer bonding structure and an implementation method...

We report a low-temperature wafer bonding method for the realization of integration of GaAsand InP-based optoelectronic devices with Si microelectronic devices. This method uses a Au-Ge eutectic alloy as the bonding material sandwiched between GaAs and Si wafers, and between InP and Si wafers. The bonding process was carried out at 280-300 “C by taking advantage of the low-temperature solid-sta...

This paper presents the electrical and morphological properties at the interface between a metal (Au) and a semiconductor (Si) formed by a novel transfer-printing technology. This work shows that a transfer-printed thin (hundreds of nanometers) Au film forms excellent electrical contact on a Si substrate when appropriate thermal treatment is applied. The successful electrical contact is attribu...

Heteroepitaxial layers of S&Gel-, alloys were grown on Si( 100) by thermal annealing bilayers of a-Ge/Au deposited on single-crystal Si (sc-Si) substrates at 300 “C!. During annealing, Ge dissolves into the Au layer and then grows epitaxially to the substrate, with the final structure changing from a-Ge/Au/sc-Si to Au/Si,Ge,-,/sc-Si. The Si,Ge,-, layer was found to be Ge rich (~~0.15) from AES ...
