EVG®850

Automated Production Bonding System for SOI

Automated production bonding system for a wide range of fusion/molecular wafer bonding applications

SOI wafers are a promising new basic material for the microelectronics industry to produce faster and higher-performance microelectronic devices. Wafer bonding, as one key enabling technology for the SOI wafer fabrication process, achieves high-quality single-crystal silicon films on insulating substrates. With the EVG850 SOI production bonding system, all essential steps for SOI bonding – from cleaning and alignment to pre-bonding and IR-inspection – are combined. Thus, the EVG850 assures a high-yield production process for void-free SOI wafers up to 300 mm sizes. Being the only production system built to operate in high-throughput, high-yield environments, the EVG850 has been established as the industry standard in the SOI wafer market.
