ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and a device (1) for bonding wafers (6, 9). Here at least one wafer surface is first wetted with a molecular dipolar compound, whereupon the wafers are brought into contact with each other. The bonding of the wafers then takes place by means of microwave irradiation.
