Overview

General Description

The Suss SB6e VAC Substrate Bond Aligner is a universal tool for bonding processes for micro electro-mechanical system applications such as: Anodic Bonding (AB) Silicon Fusion Bonding (SFB) and Thermal Compression Bonding (TCB). After alignment on the BA 6 the substrate stacks are mechanically clamped using the transport fixture for further processing in the SB6e chamber.

Specifications

• 4 inch wafer size for bonding
• Vacuum down to 5x10^-5 mbar.
• Over pressure up to 3 bar absolute
• Flexible process control using Windows NT with data recording and analysis
• Optimized bonding routines can be replicated
