Bonding interface characterization devices Option 2: Schottky diodes
Materials High resistivity epitaxial silicon Low resistivity silicon High resistivity silicon wafer: >5000 ohm.cm Epitaxial layer thickness: around 20µm Resistivity epitaxial layer: >1000 ohm.cm Resistivity bulk silicon: 0.25 ohm.cm

Step 1: thermal oxidation Wafer 1
Step 2: Temporary bonding Carrier wafer Wafer 1
Step 3: Thinning Carrier wafer Wafer 1 Swipe: 20µm 50µm 100µm
Step 4: covalent bonding Carrier wafer Wafer 1 Wafer 2 Instead of a standard high resistivity wafer, it is possible to use an epitaxial silicon wafer. This would avoid the need of ion implantation for ohmic contact.
Step 5: Temporary bonding release Wafer 1 Wafer 2
Step 6: Cut in a 4’’ wafer shape
