Abstract: A method includes placing a first wafer on a first wafer stage, placing a second wafer on a second wafer stage, and pushing a center portion of the first wafer to contact the second wafer. A bonding wave propagates from the center portion to edge portions of the first wafer and the second wafer. When the bonding wave propagates from the center portion to the edge portions of the first wafer and the second wafer, a stage gap between the top wafer stage and the bottom wafer stage is reduced.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices having improved heat dissipation and methods of forming the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a device includes a first transistor structure; a front-side interconnect structure on a front-side of the first transistor structure, the front-side interconnect structure including front-side conductive lines; a backside interconnect structure on a backside of the first transistor structure, the backside interconnect structure including backside conductive lines, the backside conductive lines having line widths greater than line widths of the front-side conductive lines; and a first heat dissipation substrate coupled to the backside interconnect structure.

Abstract: Wafer bonding apparatus and method are provided. A method includes performing a first plasma activation process on a first surface of a first wafer. The first plasma activation process forms a first high-activation region and a first low-activation region on the first surface of the first wafer. A first cleaning process is performed on the first surface of the first wafer. The first cleaning process forms a first plurality of silanol groups in the first high-activation region and the first low-activation region. The first high-activation region includes more silanol groups than the first low-activation region. The first wafer is bonded to a second wafer.

Abstract: Embodiments include nanostructure devices and methods of forming nanostructure devices which include a treatment process to expand a sidewall spacer material to close a seam in the sidewall spacer material after deposition. The treatment process includes oxidation anneal and heat anneal to expand the sidewall spacer material and crosslink the open seam to form a closed seam, lower k-value, and decrease density.
