Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A bonded structure includes a first substrate; a second substrate placed opposite to the first substrate; an intermediate layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a first oxide thin film layered on the first substrate and a second oxide thin film layered on the second substrate; either or both of the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer being formed of oxide thin films having increased defects; and an interface between the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film=being bonded by chemical bonding, and the interface comprising a low-density portion whose density is lower than that of the two oxide thin films.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A bonded structure comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate placed opposite to the first substrate; an intermediate layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a first oxide thin film layered on the first substrate and a second oxide thin film layered on the second substrate; at least one of the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer being formed of oxide thin films having increased defects; an interface between the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film=being bonded by chemical bonding, and the interface comprising a low-density portion whose density is lower than that of the two oxide thin films. 2. The bonded structure according to claim 1 , wherein the interface between the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer is bonded by chemical bonding with atomic diffusion. 3. The bonded structure according to claim 2 , wherein a material constituting the oxide thin film of the intermediate layer is different from a material constituting the first substrate or the second substrate. 4. The bonded structure according to claim 3 , wherein both of the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer being formed of oxide thin films having increased defects. 5. The bonded structure according to claim 2 , wherein both of the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer being formed of oxide thin films having increased defects. 6. The bonded structure according to claim 1 , wherein a material constituting the oxide thin film of the intermediate layer is different from a material constituting the first substrate or the second substrate. 7. The bonded structure according to claim 6 , wherein both of the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer being formed of oxide thin films having increased defects. 8. The bonded structure according to claim 1 , wherein both of the first oxide thin film and the second oxide thin film of the intermediate layer being formed of oxide thin films having increased defects. 9. A bonded structure comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate placed opposite to the first substrate; an intermediate layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate and including an oxide thin film having increased defects layered on the first substrate; an interface between the oxide thin film of the intermediate layer and the second substrate being bonded by chemical bonding, and the oxide thin film at the bonded portion having a low-density portion whose density is lower than that of the oxide thin film. 10. The bonded structure according to claim 4 , wherein the interface between the oxide thin film of the intermediate layer and the second substrate is bonded by chemical bonding with atomic diffusion. 11. The bonded structure according to claim 10 , wherein a material constituting the oxide thin film of the intermediate layer is different from a material constituting the first substrate or the second substrate. 12. The bonded structure according to claim 9 , wherein a material constituting the oxide thin film of the intermediate layer is different from a material constituting the first substrate or the second substrate.
