Help with aligning two wafers
Iskandar
2004-01-07
Hi all,

I was hoping someone could help me with aligning two Si wafers. Its to make a
micromotor whereby the wafers contain the rotor and stator respectively. I was
hoping that if the wafers were crystalline I could make pyramid holes in each
using anisotropic KOH etching and drop ruby balls between the two wafers to
align them. However this requires a film of Si Nitride on each wafer, which is
tedious considering many more features have to be laid out as well.

Any help at all will be considered. The alignment preferebaly should be as
accurate as possible - however realistically the stator is about 1000um (1mm)
diameter so some error can be tolerated.

Thanks all for the help - ISSA
