Priority items to confirm · 5
01Pre-bond object and process-specific window are clearUnconfirmed
Is the sample still unbonded, with validated surface-release specifications and a sampling scope for the target stack?
Public application values are not this process’s specifications. Bonded samples can establish subsequent comparisons but cannot retrospectively authorize release of the current batch.
Update engineering conditions →02Local and larger-scale measurements can be alignedUnconfirmed
Can local Cu recess/roughness be aligned with larger-scale topography?
Record fields of view, pad density and wafer locations. Local flatness does not establish absence of longer-scale variation across the wafer.
Update engineering conditions →03Coverage and detection limits are traceableUnconfirmed
Does particle inspection have full-wafer/sampling coverage, detection limits and repeat-inspection records at the same locations?
Insufficient fields of view or nondetection do not establish absence of particles. Design coverage for the target bonding regions; do not prescribe a general particle-size threshold.
Update engineering conditions →04Surface chemistry and waiting/environment have comparisonsUnconfirmed
Are comparable surface-chemistry, wait-time and environmental records available after cleaning/activation?
Record relative measurement timing and storage conditions. Equipment completion of activation does not establish the required chemical termination state.
Update engineering conditions →05Before/after rework and downstream constraints are comparableUnconfirmed
Does candidate rework have before/after compatibility comparisons using the same materials and accumulated thermal history?
Release, rework or hold is determined by process-specific specifications and decision authority. Recleaning may change Cu recess or surface chemistry.

Confirm with the supplier Confirm compatibility, concentration/time, copper-surface effects and storage, and agree cleanliness and release verification for subsequent bonding.
