PatentApogee® Bonder2019

Laser-releasable bonding materials for 3-D IC applications

Brewer Science — Published Patent Examples

A Cee® Apogee® Bonder was used to assemble glass-wafer pairs with a laminated, laser-releasable temporary bonding film in Brewer Science's published 3-D IC materials examples.

Equipment evidence

Example 11 bonds two 100 mm glass wafers using the Cee® Apogee® Bonder at a platen temperature of 230 °C and 1800 N for 3 minutes. The film was prepared and laminated in the preceding examples. Example 12 performs subsequent laser separation on a Kingyoup laser debonder. The Cee® equipment attribution here is the bonding step.

PatentApogee® Bonder2025

Temporary bonding and debonding process to prevent deformation of metal connection in thermocompression bonding

Brewer Science — Published Patent Examples

Brewer Science's published patent examples use a Cee® Apogee® Bonder to evaluate temporary wafer support during thermocompression processing of copper pillars with solder caps. Cee® spin coating is also identified for protective and carrier-bonding layers.

Brewer Science — Published Patent Examples. 2025. Temporary bonding and debonding process to prevent deformation of metal connection in thermocompression bonding

Equipment evidence

Example 5 names an Apogee® Bonder for joining device wafers to 4-inch glass carriers coated with BrewerBOND® material. Following cure, the stack was returned to the bonder for a thermocompression simulation using a 300 °C upper platen, 100 °C lower platen and 1650 N for 15 seconds. These are reported experimental conditions in US12381170B2. The example does not identify the equipment used for the later debond step.

About these references

Each entry identifies its source type and links to the original document. Cee prepares the application summaries. Papers, patents, SOPs, and facility descriptions provide different kinds of evidence; inclusion does not imply endorsement by their authors.
