A method including fusion bonding a handle wafer to a first side of a device wafer. The method further includes depositing a hardmask on a second side of the device wafer, wherein the second side is planar. An etch stop layer is deposited over the hardmask and an exposed portion of the second side of the device wafer. A dielectric layer is formed over the etch stop layer. A via is formed within the dielectric layer. The via is filled with conductive material. A eutectic bond layer is formed over the conductive material. Portions of the dielectric layer uncovered by the eutectic bond layer is etched to expose the etch stop layer. The exposed portions of the etch stop layer is etched. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device pattern is etched into the device wafer.

Extended acid etch for oxide removal

A preclean process may be omitted from a eutectic bonding sequence. To remove oxide from one or more surfaces of a device wafer of a micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) structure, a duration of an acid-based etch process in the eutectic bonding sequence may be increased relative to the duration of the acid-based etch process when the preclean process is performed. The increased duration of the acid-based etch process enables the acid-based etch process to remove the oxide from the one or more surfaces of the device wafer without the use of a preceding preclean process. This reduces the complexity and cycle time of the eutectic bonding sequence, reduces the risk of stiction between suspended mechanical components of the MEMS structure, and/or reduces the likelihood that the MEMS structure may be rendered defective or inoperable during manufacturing, which increases process yield.
