Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for bonding a first substrate with a second substrate, characterized in that the first substrate and/or the second substrate is/are thinned before the bonding.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . Method for bonding a first substrate to a second substrate, wherein the method comprises: thinning the first substrate and/or the second substrate; and bonding the first substrate to the second substrate after the thinning. 2 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein during the thinning, the first substrate and/or the second substrate is/are thinned to a thickness of less than 1,000 μm. 3 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises: attaching the first substrate and/or the second substrate to a carrier surface of a carrier for the thinning and/or the bonding. 4 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are at least partially congruent in shape and/or have similar geometric dimensions. 5 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises: aligning the first substrate and the second substrate with one another before bonding, said aligning based on corresponding alignment markings of the first and second substrates, and pre-attaching the first substrate to the second substrate after the aligning. 6 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises: attaching the first substrate and/or the second substrate to a respective substrate attachment for the thinning and/or the bonding, each substrate attachment including: a substrate attaching surface for attaching one of the first and second substrates, and a carrier attaching surface surrounding the substrate attaching surface for mutual attachment of the substrate attachments. 7 . Method according to claim 6 , wherein the carrier attaching surface is magnetized or is magnetizable. 8 . Method according to claim 3 , wherein said carrier is attached to a ring-shaped frame. 9 . Method according to claim 4 , wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are congruent in shape at least in relation to a cross-sectional surface that is parallel to a bonding surface of each of the first and second substrates. 10 . Method according to claim 5 , wherein the aligning of the first and second substrates is to an alignment accuracy of greater than 100 μm. 11 . Method according to claim 5 , wherein the pre-attaching of the first substrate to the second substrate uses magnetism.
