Abstract
A method for bonding of a first, at least partially metallic contact surface of a first substrate to a second, at least partially metallic contact surface of a second substrate, with the following steps, especially the following progression: application of a sacrificial layer which is at least partially, especially predominantly soluble in the material of at least one of the contact surfaces to at least one of the contact surfaces, bonding of the contact surfaces with at least partial solution of the sacrificial layer in at least one of the contact surfaces.

A method for bonding of a first, at least partially metallic, contact surface of a first substrate to a second, at least partially metallic, contact surface of a second substrate, the first and second contact surfaces being formed as hybrid surfaces, the method comprising:
- removing oxides from the first and second contact surfaces,
- applying a sacrificial layer to at least one of the first and second contact surfaces, the sacrificial layer being at least predominantly soluble in material of at least one of the first and second contact surfaces, and
- bonding the first and second substrates with a solution of the sacrificial layer in the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces,
- wherein the sacrificial layer is comprised of water,
- wherein the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces is formed of several bond regions of the first and second substrates and bulk material which surrounds the bond regions.
A method for bonding of a first, at least partially metallic, contact surface of a first substrate to a second, at least partially metallic contact surface of a second substrate, the first and second contact surfaces being formed as hybrid surfaces, the method comprising:
- removing oxides from the first and second contact surfaces,
- respectively forming a plurality of cavities in at least one of the first and second substrates to define metallic bond regions in at least one of the first contact surface of the first substrate and the second contact surface of the second substrate,
- applying a sacrificial layer to the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces, the sacrificial layer being at least predominantly soluble in material of the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces, and
- bonding the first and second substrates with a solution of the sacrificial layer in the at least one of the first and second contact surfaces,
- wherein the sacrificial layer is comprised of water.
