Abstract:
A description of the bonding front propagation between two adhesive plates is proposed. The model relates the velocity of a bonding front to the adhesion energy, with application to wafer direct bonding. Its derivation is based on a competition between the bonding energy and the viscous drag of the air flow in the gap between the two wafers. The model describes well the experimental data, including the wafer deformation profile during bonding or the dependence of the velocity on the gas viscosity, pressure, and wafer thickness.

Chemical Bonds
Atoms participate in a chemical bond formation to acquire a completed valence-shell electron configuration similar to that of the noble gas nearest to it in atomic number. Ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds are some of the important types of chemical bonds. Bond energy and bond length determine the strength of a chemical bond.
Types of Chemical Bonds
An ionic bond is formed due to electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. Often, the ions are formed by the transfer of electrons from...
