Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit comprising: a carrier comprising at least one electronic component and at least one contact area disposed on a first side of the carrier, wherein the at least one electronic component is electrically connected to the at least one contact area; an inorganic material layer wafer bonded to the first side of the carrier, wherein the carrier has a first coefficient of thermal expansion, and wherein the inorganic material layer has a second coefficient of thermal expansion, wherein the second coefficient of thermal expansion has a difference of less than 100% compared with the first coefficient of thermal expansion; and at least one contact via formed through the inorganic material layer, wherein the at least one contact via contacts the at least one contact area, wherein the carrier comprises a semiconductor wafer, and wherein the at least one electronic component and at least one contact area disposed on a first side of the semiconductor wafer, further comprising an intermediate layer between the inorganic material layer and the first side of the carrier, wherein the intermediate layer includes one material from the following group of materials, the group of materials consisting of: gold, aluminum, and glass frit.
