ASAHI GLASS SW-GLASS WAFERS FOR MEMS HIGHLIGHTS ●
Anodic bonding is a very popular tool for MEMs (Micro Electronic Mechanical Systems) devices.
●
Many of MEMs devices use glass covers for protecting silicon structure in advance the dicing process. ● ●
●
The typical condition of the anodic bonding process is 400 to 600 C and 400-1000V. Borosilicate glass such as Pyrex is very popular as the bonding glass in this process, but the coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) curve of borosilicate glass is not equal to that of silicon. ● The unmatched CTE causes compression or tension in between silicon and borosilicate glass.
The thermal expansion of SW-series glass was carefully designed to match the CTE of the MEMs silicon substrate. ● ●
Over wide range of temperature thereby minimizing stress or compression loads. SW-YY glass can be bonded in lower temperature or voltage condition by adding Lithium with smaller molecular diameter than Sodium as alkali component in glass. ● SW-YY glass was designed to minimize the compression or tension on glass wafer of MEMs devices ● The bonding condition of SW-YY glass is 50C-100C lower than conventional borosilicate glass, SW-3 and SW-Y.
