Problems solved by technology

However, in order to increase the bonding rate, the thickness of the Au film has to be increased, thereby increasing its cost
[0005] Although the cost of Cu-Cu bonding and Al-Al bonding is low, after Cu or Al is deposited, an oxide layer is easily formed on its surface, which seriously affects the bonding efficiency. Secondly, vapor phase bonding is used during bonding. The high pressure used in the cleaning process to remove surface oxides will cause fracture of Cu or Al, and its bonding temperature is high
