Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for bonding semiconductor wafers together including a moveable upper bond head and a resilient member positioned on a surface of the bond head for contacting a first wafer that is positioned at an elevation below the upper bond head. The resilient member is configured to apply a force onto a top side surface of the first wafer thereby compressing the first wafer against a second wafer that is positioned at an elevation below the first wafer. A method of wafer to wafer bonding includes the steps of positioning at least two wafers beneath the moveable upper bond head, positioning the resilient member in physical contact with one of the at least two wafers, and resiliently deforming the resilient member as it is moved into contact with the wafer to facilitate bonding of the wafers.
