Wafer level integration including design/co-design, structure process, equipment stress management and thermal management

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a multi-layer wafer is provided. The method comprises applying at least one stress compensating polymer layer to at least one of two heterogeneous wafers and low temperature bonding the two heterogeneous wafers to bond the stress compensating polymer layer to the other of the two heterogeneous wafers to form a multi-layer wafer pair. The multi-layer wafer comprises two heterogeneous wafers, at least one of the heterogeneous wafers having a stress compensating polymer layer. The two heterogeneous wafers are low temperature bonded together to bond the stress compensating polymer layer to the other of the two heterogeneous wafers.
