Using ps laser pulses with high pulse repetition rates,
novel fusion welding technique of Si/glass material
combination has been developed, which can overcome
the most problems encountered in existing anodic
bonding, providing excellent joint strength and
throughput. Our technique allows welding of Si/glass
without pre- and post-heating at high spatial resolution
down to 10μm and maximum joint strength of 80MPa.
Analysis of laser-matter interaction also shows ps laser
pulses provide much better welding performances of
Si/glass than ns laser pulses. No defects are found in
cutting by standard blade dicer and accelerated life test
(500 cycles: -40°C~85°C) of the laser-welded joint,
demonstrating the ps laser welding technique provides
excellent performance for applications to wafer-level
packaging and hermetic sealing.
