Abstract

A method and technique for achieving a high strength bond between two substrates includes igniting a plasma using a source RF signal. The substrates are biased with a bias RF signal during surface treatment by the plasma. The treated surfaces are brought into contact. The resulting bonded substrates show an improvement over bonds attained using conventional bonding techniques.
