Abstract:
1. A semiconductor substrate bonding apparatus comprising: a frame; a platen connected to the frame, the platen being adapted for supporting thereon more than one stack of semiconductor substrates supported thereon; a press movably connected to the frame, the press being movable relative to the platen for pressing and bonding stacked substrates in each of the more than one substrate stack between the press and platen; and a consumable compliant member disposed between the press and platen and arranged so that the member covers substantially in entirety a face defined by the stack perimeter of each stack of the more than one semiconductor substrate stack so that the press pressing the more than one substrate stack presses the consumable compliant member-against each stack of the more than one substrate stack to effect bonding between substrates in each stack of the more than one substrate stack and effecting a substantially uniform pressure distribution on the full face of each stack of the more than one substrate stack.
