Try plasma bonding. Use capacitive plasma system to get planarity of plasma power across wafer. Lay wafers SiO2 side up on shelf. Plasma at about 1 Watt per square inch for 10 minutes Argon. Place the wafers together and the disturbed bonds on both surfaces cling to each other.

It sticks for two days. After that, the bonding seems weaken and that two wafer start to separate. I have CrAu film below the SiO2 in both wafer. That is the reason why i need to lower the temperature. Could anyone suggest the suitable method to increase the bonding strengh.
