Abstract
A method for bonding two silicon substrates and a corresponding system of two silicon substrates. The method includes: providing first and second silicon substrates; depositing a first bonding layer of pure aluminum or of aluminum-copper having a copper component between 0.1 and 5% on a first bonding surface of the first silicon substrate; depositing a second bonding layer of germanium above the first bonding surface or above a second bonding surface of the second silicon substrate; subsequently joining the first and second silicon substrates, so that the first and the second bonding surfaces lie opposite each other; and implementing a thermal treatment step to form an eutectic bonding layer of aluminum-germanium or containing aluminum-germanium as the main component, between the first silicon substrate and the second silicon substrate, spikes which contain aluminum as a minimum and extend into the first silicon substrate, forming at least on the first bonding surface.
