The invention discloses a
wafer room temperature bonding method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
semiconductor advanced packaging and three-dimensional integration. The method comprises the following steps: providing a first
wafer, and sequentially preparing a
metal plane layer and an
oxide layer on the surface of one side of the first
wafer to form a
metal /
oxide composite layer; selectively
etching the
metal /
oxide composite layer to remove the oxide layer and form a
metal nanowire array layer on the metal
plane layer; providing a second wafer, and preparing a metal material layer on the surface of one side of the second wafer; and aligning the surface, with the
metal nanowire array layer, of the first wafer with the surface, with the metal material layer, of the second wafer, and then bonding. According to the invention, the
metal nanowire array is introduced into the bonding interface, so that the nanowires are subjected to plastic deformation and local
surface diffusion under the action of
external pressure, that is, compact and reliable metal-metal bonding can be realized in a
room temperature environment, and the requirements of a low-temperature
process window and high strength are both considered.
