Low temperature Cu-Cu thermo-compression bonding with temporary passivation of self-assembled monolayer and its bond strength enhancement

Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkane-thiol is formed on copper (Cu) thin layer coated on silicon (Si) wafer with the aim to protect the surface against excessive oxidation during storage in the room ambient. After 3 days of storage, the temporary SAM layer is desorbed with in situ anneal in iner...
