Temporary Bonding for High Temperature Processing of Thin Glass Using Plasma Activated DLC Layer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Commercial temporary bonding technologies utilize relatively thick polymeric materials whose use is limited to below 400 o C, typically below 250 o C. While adequate for many BEOL processes, the temperature limitation and outgassing from the bonding media are incompatible with higher temperature processes such as CVD growth, Au eutectic bonding and other processes for MEMS, photonics, or packaging applications. This talk describes a temporary van der Waals wafer bonding method using a thin continuous layer of PECVD deposited diamond like carbon (DLC) layer suitable for smooth glass, silicon and sapphire substrates. Rapid self-propagating bonding is achieved through plasma activation of the bonding surface. Raman and optical characterization of the DLC layer are consistent with a hydrogenated amorphous carbon structure. A 4 nm thick N 2 -O 2 treated DLC layer is shown to bond thin glass to a display glass carrier with a bond energy <500mJ/m 2 and minimal blistering at temperatures up to 600C. Bond energy of thin glass bonded with DLC was shown to be less than 400 mJ/m 2 throughout a simulated LTPS TFT thermal cycle. The DLC bonding layer remains adherent throughout the vacuum, thermal and wet processing steps of typical semiconductor and MEMS fabrication; yet the bond energy between the pair remains low-enough after the thermal processing steps that renders the pair fully detachable.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
