Abstract

In a method for the firm bonding at elevated temperatures of thin, large-area wafers of different thermal expansion the deformations of the laminar bond occurring later during cooling are at least partially compensated by an appropriate pre-deformation in the opposite direction. An apparatus for conducting the method uses the different thermal expansion of a housing (1) and a ring-shaped thermal expansion element (3) to produce the pre-deformation.
