Self-assembled monolayers for reduced temperature direct metal thermocompression bonding

A reduction in the bonding temperature required for direct gold-gold (Au–Au) thermocompression bonding is observed by coating a monolayer of dodecanethiol on gold surfaces prior to bonding. The results show that Au–Au bonded joints of 26.9 g per bump strength can be achieved at a tempe...
