Problems solved by technology

Sampling points are limited and cannot fully reflect the bonding quality of the entire wafer (Wafer).
[0007] Therefore, with the development of technology, the technology of bonding two wafers will be applied in the preparation process of MEMS devices and other devices, but there are various problems in the detection of the bonding quality between the wafers, one is destructive Second, due to the limitation of sampling, the entire wafer cannot be effectively monitored during the sampling process, so it is necessary to improve the current detection structure and detection method to eliminate the above problems

Abstract

The invention relates to a detection structure for wafer bonding, a preparation method and a detection method. The detection structure comprises an MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) substrate and a cap layer, wherein an MEMS component is formed on the MEMS substrate, and interconnection metal layers are formed on the two sides of the MEMS component; the cap layer comprises raised connecting ends arranged on the two ends, and a groove located between the connecting ends; each connecting end comprises a connecting end body and a conductive material layer located on the corresponding connecting end body, wherein the conductive material layers are also formed on the bottom and the sidewall of the groove; the cap layer and the MEMS substrate are integrally jointed through the connecting ends and the interconnection metal layers; and a joint interface is formed on a joint of each connecting end and the corresponding interconnection metal layer. The detection structure has the advantages that (1) a device (Device) cannot be destroyed and can be packaged and used continuously after detection; and (2) the detection structure has no impact on the device thanks to the change of a process flow (Process Flow).
