Title: Stress compensation for wafer to wafer bonding

Description:
FIELD 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of packaging, and more particularly, to wafer to wafer bonding. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Wafer bonding is a technology on wafer-level for the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems, nanoelectromechanical systems, microelectronics, or optoelectronics. In some wafer to wafer bonding, two wafers may be brought into close proximity to one another and bonding may be initiated by locally deforming one or both of the wafers to make local contact between the wafers. Such techniques may provide undesirable distortions in one or both of the wafers and/or undesirable stress between the wafers.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Wafer bonding is a packaging technology on wafer-level for the fabrication of various mechanical, microelectronics, or optoelectronics systems. When one wafer is bonded to another wafer, non-uniformly distributed in-plane distortions (IPD) and stresses are generated in the wafers. Some solutions to reduce wafer bonding distortion may be based on adjusting tool settings in the existing wafer bonding equipments, e.g., adjusting the striker force, striker velocity, wafer gap, or vacuum chucking conditions. Some other solutions may change the wafer bonding tools or process steps. Such solutions may still not be able to completely remove IPD caused by wafer bonding. For example, the bonded wafers may still have a remaining IPD in the order of 10-100 nm. 
     Embodiments herein may provide methods and systems for correcting or compensating any remaining distortions occurred after wafer bonding. Embodiments herein may enable compensation of IPD residuals from wafer bonding, without significant changes to wafer bonding tools, wafer processing flows, or scanners or vacuum chucks. For bonded two wafers, there may be a non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers. Embodiments herein may provide a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer to compensate the non-uniformly distributed stress at the surface of the bonded wafers. The stress compensation layer may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field to complement or compensate the stress field at the surface of the bonded wafers, so that the resulted overall stress field on the bonded wafers caused by the wafer bonding and the stress compensation layer may be evenly or substantial evenly distributed. The stress compensation layer may include some commonly used material such as Si 3 N 4  or SiO 2 , with additional impurities such as argon, xenon, or other ion impurities induced by an ion implant beam or lithography techniques. Embodiments herein may be highly adaptable to compensating different types of wafers and products and used in combination with current other solutions to correct the remaining IPDs on the bonded wafers. Embodiments herein may not change any tools or the bonding process, hence potentially having lower cost. 
     Embodiments herein may present an apparatus of bonded wafers that includes a first wafer, a second wafer bonded to the first wafer, and a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer. The first wafer has a first stress level at a first location of the first wafer, and a second stress level at a second location of the first wafer, where the second stress level is different from the first stress level. On the other hand, the stress compensation layer includes a first material at a first location of the stress compensation layer overlapping with the first location of the first wafer, a second material at a second location of the stress compensation layer overlapping with the second location of the first wafer. As a result, the stress compensation layer induces a third stress level at the first location of the first wafer, and a fourth stress level at the second location of the first wafer, where the third stress level is different from the fourth stress level, and the first material is different from the second material. 
     Embodiments herein may present a method for forming a semiconductor device including a first wafer and a second wafer bonded to the first wafer by wafer bonding. The method includes: providing a first wafer; forming a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer; and bonding the first wafer with a second wafer. The first wafer has a first stress level at a first location of the first wafer, and a second stress level at a second location of the first wafer, where the second stress level is different from the first stress level. The stress compensation layer includes a first material at a first location of the stress compensation layer overlapping with the first location of the first wafer, and a second material at a second location of the stress compensation layer overlapping with the second location of the first wafer. The stress compensation layer induces a third stress level at the first location of the first wafer, and a fourth stress level at the second location of the first wafer, where the third stress level is different from the fourth stress level, and the first material is different from the second material. 
     Embodiments herein may present a computing device including a first wafer, and a second wafer bonded to the first wafer by wafer bonding. The first wafer or the second wafer includes a processor or a memory device. A stress compensation layer is in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer. The first wafer has a first stress level at a first location of the first wafer, and a second stress level at a second location of the first wafer, where the second stress level is different from the first stress level. The stress compensation layer includes a first material at a first location of the stress compensation layer overlapping with the first location of the first wafer, and a second material at a second location of the stress compensation layer overlapping with the second location of the first wafer. The stress compensation layer induces a third stress level at the first location of the first wafer, and a fourth stress level at the second location of the first wafer. The first wafer has a sum stress level of the first location equal to the first stress level and the third stress level, and a sum stress level of the second location equal to the second stress level and the fourth stress level, the sum stress level of the first location is substantially same as the sum stress level of the second location. 
     In the following description, various aspects of the illustrative implementations will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative implementations. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative implementations. 
     Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present disclosure. However, the order of description should not be construed to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations may not be performed in the order of presentation. For the purposes of the present disclosure, the phrase “A and/or B” means (A), (B), or (A and B). For the purposes of the present disclosure, the phrase “A, B, and/or C” means (A), (B), (C), (A and B), (A and C), (B and C), or (A, B and C). 
     The terms “over,” “under,” “between,” “above,” and “on” as used herein may refer to a relative position of one material layer or component with respect to other layers or components. For example, one layer disposed over or under another layer may be directly in contact with the other layer or may have one or more intervening layers. Moreover, one layer disposed between two layers may be directly in contact with the two layers or may have one or more intervening layers. In contrast, a first layer “on” a second layer is in direct contact with that second layer. Similarly, unless explicitly stated otherwise, one feature disposed between two features may be in direct contact with the adjacent features or may have one or more intervening features. 
     The description may use the phrases “in an embodiment,” or “in embodiments,” which may each refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments. Furthermore, the terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” and the like, as used with respect to embodiments of the present disclosure, are synonymous. 
     The term “coupled with,” along with its derivatives, may be used herein. “Coupled” may mean one or more of the following. “Coupled” may mean that two or more elements are in direct physical or electrical contact. However, “coupled” may also mean that two or more elements indirectly contact each other, but yet still cooperate or interact with each other, and may mean that one or more other elements are coupled or connected between the elements that are said to be coupled with each other. The term “directly coupled” may mean that two or more elements are in direct contact. 
     In various embodiments, the phrase “a first feature formed, deposited, or otherwise disposed on a second feature” may mean that the first feature is formed, deposited, or disposed over the second feature, and at least a part of the first feature may be in direct contact (e.g., direct physical and/or electrical contact) or indirect contact (e.g., having one or more other features between the first feature and the second feature) with at least a part of the second feature. 
     Where the disclosure recites “a” or “a first” element or the equivalent thereof, such disclosure includes one or more such elements, neither requiring nor excluding two or more such elements. Further, ordinal indicators (e.g., first, second, or third) for identified elements are used to distinguish between the elements, and do not indicate or imply a required or limited number of such elements, nor do they indicate a particular position or order of such elements unless otherwise specifically stated. 
     As used herein, the term “circuitry” may refer to, be part of, or include an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), an electronic circuit, a processor (shared, dedicated, or group), and/or memory (shared, dedicated, or group) that execute one or more software or firmware programs, a combinational logic circuit, and/or other suitable hardware components that provide the described functionality. Circuitry may include one or more transistors. As used herein, “computer-implemented method” may refer to any method executed by one or more processors, a computer system having one or more processors, a mobile device such as a smartphone (which may include one or more processors), a tablet, a laptop computer, a set-top box, a gaming console, and so forth. 
     Implementations of the disclosure may be formed or carried out on a substrate, such as a semiconductor substrate. In one implementation, the semiconductor substrate may be a crystalline substrate formed using a bulk silicon or a silicon-on-insulator substructure. In other implementations, the semiconductor substrate may be formed using alternate materials, which may or may not be combined with silicon, that include but are not limited to germanium, indium antimonide, lead telluride, indium arsenide, indium phosphide, gallium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide, gallium antimonide, or other combinations of group III-V or group IV materials. Although a few examples of materials from which the substrate may be formed are described here, any material that may serve as a foundation upon which a semiconductor device may be built falls within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. 
     A plurality of transistors, such as metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET or simply MOS transistors), may be fabricated on the substrate. In various implementations of the disclosure, the MOS transistors may be planar transistors, nonplanar transistors, or a combination of both. Nonplanar transistors include FinFET transistors such as double-gate transistors and tri-gate transistors, and wrap-around or all-around gate transistors such as nanoribbon and nanowire transistors. Although the implementations described herein may illustrate only planar transistors, it should be noted that the disclosure may also be carried out using nonplanar transistors. 
     Each MOS transistor includes a gate stack formed of at least two layers, a gate dielectric layer and a gate electrode layer. The gate dielectric layer may include one layer or a stack of layers. The one or more layers may include silicon oxide, silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) and/or a high-k dielectric material. The high-k dielectric material may include elements such as hafnium, silicon, oxygen, titanium, tantalum, lanthanum, aluminum, zirconium, barium, strontium, yttrium, lead, scandium, niobium, and zinc. Examples of high-k materials that may be used in the gate dielectric layer include, but are not limited to, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicon oxide, lanthanum oxide, lanthanum aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide, zirconium silicon oxide, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, barium strontium titanium oxide, barium titanium oxide, strontium titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, aluminum oxide, lead scandium tantalum oxide, and lead zinc niobate. In some embodiments, an annealing process may be carried out on the gate dielectric layer to improve its quality when a high-k material is used. 
     The gate electrode layer is formed on the gate dielectric layer and may consist of at least one P-type work function metal or N-type work function metal, depending on whether the transistor is to be a PMOS or an NMOS transistor. In some implementations, the gate electrode layer may consist of a stack of two or more metal layers, where one or more metal layers are work function metal layers and at least one metal layer is a fill metal layer. Further metal layers may be included for other purposes, such as a barrier layer. 
     For a PMOS transistor, metals that may be used for the gate electrode include, but are not limited to, ruthenium, palladium, platinum, cobalt, nickel, and conductive metal oxides, e.g., ruthenium oxide. A P-type metal layer will enable the formation of a PMOS gate electrode with a work function that is between about 4.9 eV and about 5.2 eV. For an NMOS transistor, metals that may be used for the gate electrode include, but are not limited to, hafnium, zirconium, titanium, tantalum, aluminum, alloys of these metals, and carbides of these metals such as hafnium carbide, zirconium carbide, titanium carbide, tantalum carbide, and aluminum carbide. An N-type metal layer will enable the formation of an NMOS gate electrode with a work function that is between about 3.9 eV and about 4.2 eV. 
     In some implementations, when viewed as a cross-section of the transistor along the source-channel-drain direction, the gate electrode may consist of a “U”-shaped structure that includes a bottom portion substantially parallel to the surface of the substrate and two sidewall portions that are substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate. In another implementation, at least one of the metal layers that form the gate electrode may simply be a planar layer that is substantially parallel to the top surface of the substrate and does not include sidewall portions substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate. In further implementations of the disclosure, the gate electrode may consist of a combination of U-shaped structures and planar, non-U-shaped structures. For example, the gate electrode may consist of one or more U-shaped metal layers formed atop one or more planar, non-U-shaped layers. 
     In some implementations of the disclosure, a pair of sidewall spacers may be formed on opposing sides of the gate stack that bracket the gate stack. The sidewall spacers may be formed from a material such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride doped with carbon, and silicon oxynitride. Processes for forming sidewall spacers are well known in the art and generally include deposition and etching process operations. In an alternate implementation, a plurality of spacer pairs may be used, for instance, two pairs, three pairs, or four pairs of sidewall spacers may be formed on opposing sides of the gate stack. 
     As is well known in the art, source and drain regions are formed within the substrate adjacent to the gate stack of each MOS transistor. The source and drain regions are generally formed using either an implantation/diffusion process or an etching/deposition process. In the former process, dopants such as boron, aluminum, antimony, phosphorous, or arsenic may be ion-implanted into the substrate to form the source and drain regions. An annealing process that activates the dopants and causes them to diffuse further into the substrate typically follows the ion implantation process. In the latter process, the substrate may first be etched to form recesses at the locations of the source and drain regions. An epitaxial deposition process may then be carried out to fill the recesses with material that is used to fabricate the source and drain regions. In some implementations, the source and drain regions may be fabricated using a silicon alloy such as silicon germanium or silicon carbide. In some implementations the epitaxially deposited silicon alloy may be doped in situ with dopants such as boron, arsenic, or phosphorous. In further embodiments, the source and drain regions may be formed using one or more alternate semiconductor materials such as germanium or a group III-V material or alloy. And in further embodiments, one or more layers of metal and/or metal alloys may be used to form the source and drain regions. 
     One or more interlayer dielectrics (ILD) are deposited over the MOS transistors. The ILD layers may be formed using dielectric materials known for their applicability in integrated circuit structures, such as low-k dielectric materials. Examples of dielectric materials that may be used include, but are not limited to, silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), carbon doped oxide (CDO), silicon nitride, organic polymers such as perfluorocyclobutane or polytetrafluoroethylene, fluorosilicate glass (FSG), and organosilicates such as silsesquioxane, siloxane, or organosilicate glass. The ILD layers may include pores or air gaps to further reduce their dielectric constant. 
       FIGS. 1( a )-1( d )  schematically illustrate diagrams of a stress compensation layer to compensate different stress levels at different locations resulted from bonding a first wafer and a second wafer, in accordance with some embodiments. For example, as shown in  FIG. 1( a ) , a stress compensation layer  105  is to compensate different stress levels at different locations, e.g., a location  111 , a location  113 , resulted from bonding a first wafer  101  and a second wafer  103 . As shown in  FIG. 1( b ) , a stress compensation layer  125  is to compensate different stress levels at different locations, e.g., a location  131 , a location  133 , resulted from bonding a first wafer  121  and a second wafer  123 . As shown in  FIG. 1( c ) , a stress compensation layer  145  is to compensate different stress levels at different locations, e.g., a location  151 , a location  153 , resulted from bonding a first wafer  141  and a second wafer  143 . 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 1( a ) , the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103  are bonded together by wafer bonding to form a device  110 . The first wafer  101  may have a thickness different from a thickness of the second wafer  103 . In some other embodiments, the first wafer  101  may have a thickness same as a thickness of the second wafer  103 . The first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103  may have a diameter range from 100 mm to 450 mm (4 inch to 17.7 inch), or some other sizes. The first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103  may be any kind of wafer, e.g., a silicon on insulator wafer, and may contain some semiconductor devices, e.g., a processor a memory device. 
     In embodiments, the second wafer  103  may be bonded to the first wafer  101  by any of the wafer bonding technologies, e.g., direct fusion bonding, direct bonding, vacuum wafer bonding, hybrid bonding, surface activated bonding, plasma activated bonding, anodic bonding, eutectic bonding, glass frit bonding, adhesive bonding, thermocompression bonding, reactive bonding, or transient liquid phase diffusion bonding. More details of wafer bonding may be described in  FIGS. 5( a )-5( e ) . At the process of bonding the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103 , air in the gap between the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103  may be pushed out to avoid voids after bonding. As a result, a stress is developed for the device  110 , which is transferred to both wafers, and results in unwanted distortions. Such distortions may cause patterning errors and alignment difficulty in subsequent steps for the device  110 . 
     In embodiments, the device  110  formed by bonding the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103  may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers. For example, the first wafer  101  has a first stress level at the location  111  of the first wafer  101 , and a second stress level at the location  113  of the first wafer  101 , where the second stress level is different from the first stress level. There may be many different locations at the first wafer  101  that may have different stress levels. For example, as shown in  FIG. 1( d ) , a stress level at a location of the device  170  is shown by an arrow to indicate an in-plane stress displacement from an initially neutral position. There are many arrows to show the different stress levels of the device  170 . In embodiments, the first stress level or the second stress level may be for a compressive stress or a tensile stress, and may be around 1 MPa to around 1000 MPa. 
     Embodiments herein may correct in-plane distortions on the bonded wafers by a stress compensation layer. In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  105  is between the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103 , and in contact with both the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103 . In some embodiments, the stress compensation layer  105  is in contact with an entire surface of the first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103 . In some other embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 3( a )-3( c ) , the stress compensation layer may be in contact with a part of a surface of the first wafer or the second wafer. In some other embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 1( b ) , the stress compensation layer  125  may be in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer, but not both. 
     In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  105  may be used to compensate the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, e.g., the first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103 .  FIG. 1( a )  only illustrates two locations, the location  111  and the location  113 , as examples. The stress compensation layer  105  has a location  112  overlapping with the location  111  of the first wafer  101 , and a location  114  overlapping with the location  113  of the first wafer  101 . The stress compensation layer  105  may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field that is complement to the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, e.g., the first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103 . The non-uniformly distributed stress field of the stress compensation layer  105  may be generated by varying the materials at different locations of the stress compensation layer  105 . For example, the stress compensation layer  105  includes a first material at the location  112 , and a second material at the location  114 , where the first material is different from the second material. As a consequence, the stress compensation layer  105  induces a third stress level at the location  111  of the first wafer  101 , and a fourth stress level at the location  113  of the first wafer  101 , where the third stress level is different from the fourth stress level. Similar to the first stress level or the second stress level, the third stress level or the fourth stress level may be for a compressive stress or a tensile stress, and may be around 1 MPa to around 1000 MPa. 
     In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  105  may include Si 3 N 4 , W, SiC, SiO 2 , a ceramic film, a polymer film, or a metal film. The stress compensation layer  105  may have a thickness of around 100 nm to around 3000 nm. The first material at the location  112  or the first material at the location  114  may include argon, xenon, or ion impurity beneath a surface of the stress compensation layer  105 . The argon, xenon, or ion impurity may have a concentration level of about 1*10 15  to 1*10 21 /cm 2 , and the concentration level varies with a depth to the surface of the stress compensation layer  105 . Materials having a same impurity but different concentration levels may be considered as different materials. In some other embodiments, the stress compensation layer  105  further includes only the first material at the first location of the stress compensation layer, and only the second material at the second location of the stress compensation layer, as shown in  FIG. 1( c ) . The first material includes a high stress material, and the second material includes a low stress material with a material stress constant lower than the first material. 
     In embodiments, as the result of the stress compensation layer  105 , the first wafer  101  has a sum stress level of the location  111  equal to the first stress level and the third stress level, and a sum stress level of the location  113  equal to the second stress level and the fourth stress level. The sum stress level of the location  111  is substantially same as the sum stress level of the location  113 . Hence, the stress compensation layer  105  corrects the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, the first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103 , to be uniformly distributed. 
     In some embodiments, there may be multiple layers of stress compensation layers to compensate the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, the first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103 , so that the device  110  may have a uniformly or substantially uniformly distributed stress field. For example, the stress compensation layer  105  may be a first stress compensation layer, and the device  110  further includes a second stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer  101  or the second wafer  103 . The second stress compensation layer may generate a fifth stress level at the location  111  of the first wafer  101 , and a sixth stress level at the location  113  of the first wafer  101 . The first wafer  101  has a sum stress level of the location  111  equal to the first stress level, the third stress level, and the fifth stress level, and a sum stress level of the location  113  equal to the second stress level, the fourth stress level, and the sixth stress level. The sum stress level of the location  111  is substantially same as the sum stress level of the location  113 . 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 1( b ) , a device  130  includes the first wafer  121  and the second wafer  123  bonded together. The first wafer  121  and the second wafer  123  may be similar to the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103  shown in  FIG. 1( a ) . The device  130  formed by bonding the first wafer  121  and the second wafer  123  may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers. For example, the first wafer  121  has a first stress level at the location  131  of the first wafer  121 , and a second stress level at the location  133  of the first wafer  121 , where the second stress level is different from the first stress level. In embodiments, the first stress level or the second stress level may be for a compressive stress or a tensile stress, and may be around 1 MPa to around 1000 MPa. In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  125  is in contact with the first wafer  121  only, but not the second wafer  123 . The stress compensation layer  125  is in contact with an entire surface of the first wafer  121 . 
     In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  125  may be used to compensate the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, e.g., the first wafer  121  or the second wafer  123 . The stress compensation layer  125  has a location  132  overlapping with the location  131  of the first wafer  121 , and a location  134  overlapping with the location  133  of the first wafer  121 . The stress compensation layer  125  may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field that is complement to the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, e.g., the first wafer  121  or the second wafer  123 . The non-uniformly distributed stress field of the stress compensation layer  125  may be generated by varying the materials at different locations of the stress compensation layer  125 . For example, the stress compensation layer  125  includes a first material at the location  132 , and a second material at the location  134 , where the first material is different from the second material. As a consequence, the stress compensation layer  125  induces a third stress level at the location  131  of the first wafer  121 , and a fourth stress level at the location  133  of the first wafer  121 , where the third stress level is different from the fourth stress level. 
     In embodiments, as the result of the stress compensation layer  125 , the first wafer  121  has a sum stress level of the location  131  equal to the first stress level and the third stress level, and a sum stress level of the location  133  equal to the second stress level and the fourth stress level. The sum stress level of the location  131  is substantially same as the sum stress level of the location  133 . Hence, the stress compensation layer  125  corrects the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, the first wafer  121  or the second wafer  123 , to be uniformly distributed. 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 1( c ) , a device  150  includes the first wafer  141  and the second wafer  143  bonded together. The first wafer  141  and the second wafer  143  may be similar to the first wafer  101  and the second wafer  103  shown in  FIG. 1( a ) . The device  150  formed by bonding the first wafer  141  and the second wafer  143  may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers. For example, the first wafer  141  has a first stress level at the location  151  of the first wafer  141 , and a second stress level at the location  153  of the first wafer  141 , where the second stress level is different from the first stress level. In embodiments, the first stress level or the second stress level may be for a compressive stress or a tensile stress, and may be around 1 MPa to around 1000 MPa. In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  145  is in contact with the first wafer  141  and the second wafer  143 . The stress compensation layer  145  is in contact with an entire surface of the first wafer  141 . 
     In embodiments, the stress compensation layer  145  may be used to compensate the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, e.g., the first wafer  141  or the second wafer  143 . The stress compensation layer  145  has a location  152  overlapping with the location  151  of the first wafer  141 , and a location  154  overlapping with the location  153  of the first wafer  141 . The stress compensation layer  145  may have a non-uniformly distributed stress field that is complement to the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, e.g., the first wafer  141  or the second wafer  143 . The non-uniformly distributed stress field of the stress compensation layer  145  may be generated by varying the materials at different locations of the stress compensation layer  145 . For example, the stress compensation layer  145  includes a first material at the location  152 , and a second material at the location  154 , where the first material is different from the second material. For example, the first material includes a high stress material, and the second material includes a low stress material with a material stress constant lower than the first material. As a consequence, the stress compensation layer  145  induces a third stress level at the location  151  of the first wafer  141 , and a fourth stress level at the location  153  of the first wafer  141 , where the third stress level is different from the fourth stress level. 
     In embodiments, as the result of the stress compensation layer  145 , the first wafer  141  has a sum stress level of the location  151  equal to the first stress level and the third stress level, and a sum stress level of the location  153  equal to the second stress level and the fourth stress level. The sum stress level of the location  151  is substantially same as the sum stress level of the location  153 . Hence, the stress compensation layer  145  corrects the non-uniformly distributed stress field at the surface of the two wafers, the first wafer  141  or the second wafer  143 , to be uniformly distributed. 
       FIGS. 2( a )-2( c )  schematically illustrate diagrams of a stress compensation layer to compensate different stress levels at different locations resulted from bonding a first wafer  201  and a second wafer  203 , in accordance with some embodiments. The first wafer  201  and the second wafer  203  may be similar to the wafer  101  and the wafer  103  as shown in  FIG. 1( a ) . 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 2( a ) , a device is formed by bonding a wafer  201  and a wafer  203 . A stress field of the bonded wafer  201  and the wafer  203  is shown. The stress filed may include various stress levels shown in different shades. A heavier shade shows a larger stress level, while a lighter shade shows a smaller stress level. For example, the stress filed includes a stress level at a location  211  near a center of the wafers, a stress level at a location  213 , and a stress level at a strip  215 . The stress level at the location  211  is higher than the stress level at the location  213 . Similarly, the stress level along the strip  215  is higher than the stress level at the location  213 . Large stresses are noted at the location  211  near the wafer center, corresponding to the effect of the center initiation pin used in bonding the wafer  201  and the wafer  203 . Sometimes, the various stress levels at the bonded wafer  201  and the wafer  203  may change the symmetric shape of the wafers. 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 2( b ) , a stress compensation layer  205  is formed with a stress field. For example, the stress field of the stress compensation layer  205  may include a stress level at a location  221 , a stress level at a location  223 , and a stress level along a strip  225 . The location  221  may overlap with the location  211  when the stress compensation layer  205  is in contact with the bonded wafer  201  and the wafer  203 . Similarly, the location  223  may overlap with the location  213 , and the strip  225  may overlap with the strip  215 . The stress level at the location  221  may be smaller than the stress level at the location  223 . Similarly, the stress level at the strip  225  may be smaller than the stress level at the location  223 . The non-uniformly distributed stress field at the stress compensation layer  205  may be generated by ion implantation. Different stress levels may be generated by varying the ion, dosage and beam energy, e.g., argon or xenon with a dose of 5e14 to 5e16/cm2 for implantation. The ion beam is rastered with a specifically designed pattern that aims to compensate the stress field shown in  FIG. 2( a ) . In general, a near arbitrary pattern of the stress field for the stress compensation layer  205  can be achieved by varying the ion implantation. 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 2( c ) , a device  210  is formed by adding the stress compensation layer  205  to the bonded wafer  201  and the wafer  203 . The stress compensation layer  205  is placed on a side such that after bonding and grinding, the stress compensation layer  205  remains in the final configuration of the device  210 . A stress field of the device  210  shows a stress level at a location  231 , a location  233 , and a strip  235 . The location  231  may overlap with the location  221  and the location  211 , the location  233  may overlap with the location  223  and the location  213 , while the strip  235  may overlap with the strip  225  and the strip  215 . A stress level at the location  231  may be equal to a sum of the stress level at the location  221  and the stress level at the location  211 , a stress level at the location  233  may be equal to a sum of the stress level at the location  223  and the stress level at the location  213 , while a stress level at the strip  235  may be equal to a sum of the stress level at the strip  225  and the stress level at the strip  215 . The stress level at the location  231 , the stress level at the location  233 , and the stress level at the strip  235  may be substantially the same. In some other embodiments, the differences of the stress levels at different locations may be reduced substantially, e.g., by more than 50%. When the shape of the of the bonded wafer  201  and the wafer  203  is changed due to the various stress levels resulted from the bonding, the stress compensation layer  205  may reduce the overall stress levels of the resulting device, and the shape of the bonded wafer  201  and the wafer  203  together with the stress compensation layer  205  may be back to the symmetric shape of the wafers. 
       FIGS. 3( a )-3( c )  schematically illustrate diagrams of a stress compensation layer to compensate different stress levels at different locations resulted from bonding a first wafer  301  and a second wafer  303 , in accordance with some embodiments.

     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 3( a ) , a device is formed by bonding the first wafer  301  and the second wafer  303 . A stress field of the bonded first wafer  301  and the second wafer  303  is shown. The device may include a strip  315  with some different stress levels. 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 3( b ) , a stress compensation layer  305  has a stress field as well. For example, the stress field of the stress compensation layer  305  may include various stress levels along a strip  325 . 
     In embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 3( c ) , a device  310  is formed by adding the stress compensation layer  305  and the bonded first wafer  301  and the second wafer  303 . A stress field of the device  310  along a strip  335  shown to be equal or substantially equal to the stress levels of other locations of the device  310 . 
       FIG. 4  schematically illustrates a process  400  for forming a stress compensation layer to compensate different stress levels at different locations resulted from bonding a first wafer and a second wafer, in accordance with some embodiments. In embodiments, the process  400  may be applied to form the device  110  in  FIG. 1( a ) , the device  130  in  FIG. 1( b ) , or the device  150  in  FIG. 1( c ) . Details of the operation blocks of process  400  may be further illustrated in  FIGS. 5( a )-5( e )  and  FIGS. 6( a )-6( e ) . 
     At block  401 , the process  400  may include providing a first wafer. For example, as shown in  FIG. 5( a ) , the process  400  may include providing a first wafer  501 . Similarly, as shown in  FIG. 6( a ) , the process  400  may include providing a first wafer  601 . The first wafer  501  or the first wafer  601  may be similar to the wafer  101  as shown in  FIG. 1( a ) . 
     At block  403 , the process  400  may include forming a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer. Different ways may be used to form such a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer. A stress compensation layer may be similar to the stress compensation layer  105  in  FIG. 1( a ) . 
     For example, forming a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer may include depositing a layer of implant film in contact with the first wafer; and inducing, in the layer of implant film, by implant beam, a first material at a first location of the stress compensation layer, and a second material at a second location of the stress compensation layer. In detail, as shown in  FIG. 5( b ) , a layer  511  of implant film may be deposited in contact with the first wafer  501 . The layer  511  of implant film may include Si 3 N 4 , W, SiC, SiO 2 , a ceramic film, a polymer film, or a metal film. Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 5( c ) , a first material, e.g., ion with a first concentrate level may be implanted at a first location  513 , while a second material, e.g., ion with a second concentrate level may be implanted at a second location  515 . The ion implant may implant a dose of 5e14 to 5e16/cm 2  of Argon or Xenon within the layer  511 . As a result, Argon or Xenon atoms may lie beneath the surface of the layer  511  with varying concentration levels at varying depths, instead of being constant throughout the layer  511 . Furthermore, the concentration levels of the ion implant at the first location  513  and the second location  515  may be different as well. 
     For example, forming a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer may be done by a lithography method, and may include depositing the stress compensation layer with a first material in contact with the first wafer; forming one or more openings of the stress compensation layer; and depositing a second material in the one or more openings. In detail, as shown in  FIG. 6( b ) , a stress compensation layer  611  with a first material is deposited in contact with the first wafer  601 . As shown in  FIG. 6( c ) , an opening  612  is formed of the stress compensation layer  611 . As shown in  FIG. 6( d ) , a second material  613  is deposited in the opening  612 . The second material  613  may cover the entire stress compensation layer  611 . Furthermore, as shown in  FIG. 6( e ) , a part of the layer formed by the second material  613  above the stress compensation layer  611  may be removed, e.g., by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) planarization to smoothing surfaces. 
     At block  405 , the process  400  may include bonding the first wafer with a second wafer. For example, as shown in  FIG. 5( d ) , the process  400  may include bonding the first wafer  501  with a second wafer  503 . The second wafer  503  may be similar to the wafer  103  as shown in  FIG. 1( a ) . In detail, according to a direct fusion bonding method, the first wafer  501  and the second wafer  503  may be initially held by vacuum chucks, made planar with each other, and brought into close distance (typically ˜100 um). An initiation pin strikes the second wafer  503  until the center of the second wafer  503  touches the first wafer  501 . Afterwards, interfacial adhesive forces, such as van der Waals forces, pulls the second wafer  503  down, pushing out the air inside the gap between the first wafer  501  and the second wafer  503 , until both wafers come into full contact. The surface adhesive forces maintain the bond of the two wafers. A subsequent anneal process may be typically performed to make the bond permanent. Direct fusion bonding typically happens in standard ambient conditions (room temperature, atmospheric pressure), and does not use a polymeric glue layers, thus allows for further CMOS processing after the first wafer  501  is bonded with the second wafer  503 . 
     At block  407 , the process  400  may include grinding a first wafer to a thickness different from a thickness of the second wafer. For example, as shown in  FIG. 5( e ) , the process  400  may include grinding the first wafer  501  to a thickness different from a thickness of the second wafer  503 . The first wafer  501  or the second wafer  503  may be grinded to complete the layer transfer process. 
     The operations shown in  FIG. 4  may be performed in various orders. For example, the operations for the block  405  may be performed before the operations for the block  403  so that the second wafer is bonded to the first wafer before forming the stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer.
