Abstract

A low temperature bonding technique is proposed to solve the stress problem in the fusion bonding of GaAs device material to a Si substrate. The low temperature bonding process of a GaAs vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) wafer began with chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of the GaAs wafer to acquire a smooth surface morphology. Bonded GaAs/Si dummy samples were intentionally heated to a high temperature without GaAs substrate removal. When all parameters were optimized, debonding was not observed even at a temperature as high as 900 °C.
