Robert, Functionally, anodic bonding at the fairly extreme vacuum you are referring to is not functionally different from that at more moderate vacuums (10e-1 torr, for example). The biggest question is how to arrange a system that will allow you to: A) give you the capability to allow a pathway (i.e. a space) between your substrates to allow removal of atmosphere, while B) Giving you the capability of removing the spacing once the vacuum is established, while C) Still allowing the high level of vacuum to be established Once the vacuum is established, the same process flow will occur: 1) Heat substrates to bonding temperature (~350C is a good starting point) 2) Apply voltage (if you are talking die, you probably don't need too much) - of course, you will need some way to introduce the probe that will not violate vacuum This is actually a pretty standard process from EVG's point of view - our bonders have 7.5e-6 torr as an available option (pretty typical option, to boot), and have several customers performing high-vacuum anodic bonding.
