Claim 8:
9. A method of interconnecting a first substrate to a second substrate, the method comprising:
forming a first plurality of contacts on the first substrate;
forming an insulative layer on the first substrate, wherein the forming the insulative layer comprises:
depositing an insulative material on the second substrate; and
etching the insulative material to form the insulative layer having a plurality of cavities defined therein and a plurality of channels defined therein, wherein each of the first plurality of contacts is in a corresponding one of the plurality of cavities;

forming a second plurality of contacts on the second substrate; and
joining the first plurality of contacts to the second plurality of contacts to form interconnects between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein, when the first and second substrates are joined, at least a portion of each of the interconnects is surrounded by the insulative layer.
