There are actually a few different approaches that are available in a situation like this - it depends on what the processes are after the bonding step. In the situation you are listing, it sounds as if you will need a highly uniform bonding surface, so you will most likely want a spin-on material of some sort as your intermediate layer. As was mentioned in earlier posts, BCB can make a good bonding agent for such a process, but in general, there is any variety of materials that might be able to suit (even various photoresists). The primary requisite is that the material be able to survive the thinning process, which is why BCB could have an advantage. If care is taken with the coating and bonding process, the BCB should still remain solvent releasable. Best Regards, Chad Brubaker
