Abstract
A multi-layer wafer and method of manufacturing such wafer are provided. The method comprises applying a stress compensating oxide layer to each of two heterogeneous wafers, applying at least one bonding oxide layer to at least one of the two heterogeneous wafers, chemical-mechanical polishing the at least one bonding oxide layer, and low temperature bonding the two heterogeneous wafers to form a multi-layer wafer pair. The multi-layer wafer comprises two heterogeneous wafers, each of the heterogeneous wafers having a stress compensating oxide layer and at least one bonding oxide layer applied to at least one of the two heterogeneous wafers. The two heterogeneous wafers are low temperature bonded together to form the multi-layer wafer.
