hi Badin your problem seems to arise because of the force you are applying. try using no force keeping the pressure piston screw completely loose all other parameters being same.

On pyrex wafer, it was etched about 2-3um depth to create the cavity which is around 4mm in diameter. The pyrex was then bonded to a 200um thin silicon wafer on which has no pattern. The problem I have found is that the silicon area over the 3um gap cavity was somehow bonded to the pyrex wafer. I have no clue where the problem is; probably too high voltage, too high force, etc. Have you guys got any ideas how to solve this issue? Please feel free to contact me. The recipe of anodic bonding is as follows: Temp = 380 degC Force = 800 N (probably too high, for thin silicon wafers) V = -1kV (probably too high) Time = 4 min The above recipe works well for anodic bonding between std thickness silicon wafer and pyrex. Thank you,
