Abstract
A method, for bonding a first wafer to a second wafer, includes generating a first modification map based on wafer shape data of the first wafer and the second wafer. The first modification map defines adjustments to internal stresses of the first wafer. A first wafer shape of the first wafer is modified by forming a first stressor film on the first wafer based on the first modification map. The first wafer is aligned with the second wafer after the modifying. The first wafer is bonded to the second wafer.
