Anodic bonding

Anodic bonding is a specialized technique used primarily in microfabrication and the production of silicon-based devices. This method involves joining two materials—typically silicon and glass—using an electric field and heat to create a strong adhesive bond. ### Process Overview: 1. **Materials**: The technique usually involves a silicon wafer and a glass substrate (often made of borosilicate glass). The glass is often chosen for its thermal and electrical insulation properties.
