. We present a novel method for fabrication of double side coated wafers by back-to-back Direct Wafer Bonding (DWB). Two 3 inch sapphire wafers (R-cut) were coated each with YBaCu O by laser ablation on one side. The wafers were then directly bonded with their uncoated sides together in a microcleanroom. Subsequent heating increased the bond energy up to energies sufficient for fabrication of hybrid devices working at cryogenic temperatures. TEM cross sections reveal direct contact of the two sapphire lattices.
