Description:

     FIELD 
     The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor devices and semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a bonding structure and a method for manufacturing the bonding structure. 
     BACKGROUND 
     As semiconductor technology enters the post-Moore era, chip structures are going three-dimensional on demands of high-degree integration and high performances, and wafer-level packaging techniques are widely applied.

Moreover, the wafer-level packaging technology can realize interconnection among different technical nodes and different functional chips, which renders designing and processing less difficult and therefore reduces a manufacturing cost. A large quantity of stacked layers increases a probability of chip failures.

The schematic diagram is merely exemplary, and the protection scope of present disclosure should not be limited thereto. In addition, the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width and depth should be included in practical manufacture. 
     As described in the background, as semiconductor technology enters the post-Moore era, chip structures are going three-dimensional on demands of high-degree integration and high performances, and wafer-level packaging techniques are widely applied. The wafer-level packaging technology bonds wafer stacks to shorten a signal transmission path between devices, provide more I/Os, increase chip response speed, and reduce a chip dimension. Moreover, the wafer-level packaging technology can realize interconnection among different technical nodes and different functional chips, which renders designing and processing less difficult and therefore reduces a manufacturing cost. A large quantity of stacked layers increases a probability of chip failures. An electrical testing may be performed on a fabricated chip stack to identify a failure therein, but it is difficult to determine which chip layer results in the failure. 
     In view of the above, a bonding structure is provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure. A wafer stack is formed by multiple wafers that are bonded in sequence, chip stacks are arranged in an array in the wafer stack, and each of the chip stacks includes multiple layers of chips that are bonded in sequence. Electrical vertical interconnections are formed in each of the chip stacks. The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to an interconnection layer in each of the multiple layers, and a partial vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer in each of a part of the multiple layers and/or a single vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer in a single layer of the multiple layers.

Thereby, a defective chip can be located. 
     For better understanding of technical solutions and technical effects of embodiments of the present disclosure, hereinafter some embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the drawings. 
     In an embodiment, a wafer stack is formed by multiple wafers that are bonded in sequence, chip stacks are arranged in an array in the wafer stack, and each of the chip stacks includes multiple layers of chips that are bonded in sequence. Electrical vertical interconnections are formed in each of the chip stacks. The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to an interconnection layer in each of the multiple layers, and a partial vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer in each of a part of the multiple layers and/or a single vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer in a single layer of the multiple layers. 
     In an embodiment, the wafer stack may be formed by bonding two or more wafers sequentially, and multiple chips are arranged in an array in each wafer. When the wafers are bonded to form the wafer stack, the chips in the wafers are bonded to form the chip stacks, and hence the chip stacks are arranged in an array in the wafer stack. A device structure and an interconnection structure electrically connected to the device structure may have been formed on a substrate for each layer of chip(s) in the chip stack. The device structure may be of a MOS device, a memory device and/or other passive devices. Device structures may be the same as or different in each layer of chips. The device structure is covered by a dielectric bonding layer. The dielectric layer may include a single layer or multiple layers, and may include, for example, an inter-layer dielectric layer and an inter-metal dielectric layer. The dielectric bonding layer may be made of a dielectric material for bonding, such as silicon oxide (bonding oxide), silicon nitride, NDC (nitrogen-doped silicon carbide), or a combination thereof. The interconnection layer is formed in the dielectric bonding layer. The interconnection structure may include multiple layers, and these layers may be connected to each other via contact plugs, wiring layers, vias, or the like. The interconnection layer may be made of metal, such as tungsten, aluminum, or copper. 
     An electrical vertical interconnection may be formed in the chip stack. The electrical vertical interconnection is connected to the interconnection layer(s), so that interconnection among the device structures of the multiple layers of chips may be implemented. The electrical vertical interconnections include the thorough vertical interconnection, and the partial vertical interconnection and/or the single vertical interconnection. The thorough vertical interconnection can implement interconnection among all layers of chips in the chip stack, and hence enables a test on an electrical performance of all layers of chips. The partial vertical interconnection can implement interconnection among a part of the layers of chips in the chip stack, and hence enables a test on an electrical performance of the part of the layers. The single vertical interconnection can serve as a lead for a single layer of chip(s) in the wafer stack, and hence enables a test on an electrical performance of the single layer. 
     Hereinafter different embodiments of the bonding structure are illustrated in detail in conjunction with  FIG.  1    to  FIG.  15   . The present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments.

     In this embodiment, adjacent wafers in the wafer stack are bonded via a dielectric bonding layer. The electrical vertical interconnection includes a through silicon via (TSV) and a rewiring layer connected to the through silicon via. The chip stacks are disposed in an array in the wafer stack, and the electrical vertical interconnections are formed in the chip stack through a TSV technique. Hence, an electrical performance of a single chip or multiple chips in the chip stack of the wafer stack can be tested. 
     It is taken as an example that a quantity of the wafers is three to illustrate the bonding structure in detail. A first wafer and a second wafer are bonded to each other via a first dielectric bonding layer  110  and a second dielectric bonding layer  210 , and the second wafer and a third wafer are bonded to each other via a first cover layer  1200  and a third dielectric bonding layer  310 . Chips on the wafers are sequentially bonded to form the chip stack when the wafers are bonded to form the wafer stack, such that the chips stacks are arranged in an array in the wafer stack. Herein only one of the chip stacks in the wafer stack is described in detail. In order to facilitate description, the three layers of chips in such chip stack are called a first chip  10 , a second chip  20 , and a third chip  30 , respectively. Reference is made to  FIG.  7   . 
     In an embodiment, the electrical vertical interconnections formed in the chip stack include TSVs and rewiring layers connected to the TSVs. The electrical vertical interconnections may include a thorough vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of all layers of chips, and a partial vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers, such as two layers of chips, and/or a single vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer. 
     The thorough vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of all layers may include a TSV  120  penetrating to an interconnection layer  111  in the first chip  10 , a TSV  220  penetrating to an interconnection layer  211  in the second chip  20 , a TSV  320  penetrating to an interconnection layer  311  in the third chip  30 , a first rewiring layer  1201 , and a second rewiring layer  2301 . The first rewiring layer  1201  connects the TSV  120  and the TSV  220 , which are adjacent and penetrate downward to different depths, thereby connecting the first chip  10  and the second chip  20 .

Therefore, the first chip  10 , the second chip  20 , and the third chip  30  are interconnected, and an electrical performance of such chip stack in the wafer stack may be tested. Passing the test indicates that all chips in the chip stack are qualified, and a process such as packaging may be subsequently performed. Failing the test indicates that there is a defective chip in the chip stack, and single layers or a part of the layers in the chip stack may be further tested to locate the defective chip. 
     The partial vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers may include the TSV  120 , the TSV  220 , the TSV  123 , the first rewiring layer  1201 , and the second rewiring layer  2301 . The first rewiring layer  1201  connects the TSV  120  and the TSV  220 , which are adjacent and penetrate to different depths, thereby connecting the first chip  10  and the second chip  20 . The TSV  123  and the second rewiring layer  2301  further provide an outside contact for the first chip  10  and the second chip  20 . Hence, electrical performances of the first chip  10  and the second chip  20  can be jointly tested. Passing the test indicates that the first chip  10  and the second chip  20  are both qualified. Failing the test indicates that one or both of the first chip  10  and the second chip  20  are defective, and the first chip  10  and the second chip  20  may be further tested separately to locate the defective chip(s). 
     Additionally or alternatively, the partial vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers may include the TSV  120 , the TSV  123 , the TSV  320 , the first rewiring layer  1201 , and the second rewiring layer  2301 . The first rewiring layer  1201  connects the TSV  120  and the TSV  123 , and the second rewiring layer  2301  connects the TSV  123  and the TSV  320 , which are adjacent and penetrate to different depths, thereby connecting the first chip  10  and the third chip  30 . Hence, electrical performances of the first chip  10  and the third chip  30  can be jointly tested. Passing the test indicates that the first chip  10  and the third chip  30  are both qualified. Failing the test indicates that one or both of the first chip  10  and the third chip  30  are defective, and the first chip  10  and the third chip  30  may be further test separately to locate the defective chip(s). 
     Additionally or alternatively, the partial vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers may include the TSV  220 , the TSV  123 , the TSV  320 , the first rewiring layer  1201 , and the second rewiring layer  2301 .

Hence, electrical performances of the second chip  20  and the third chip  30  can be jointly tested. Passing the test indicates that the second chip  20  and the third chip  30  are both qualified. Failing the test indicates that one or both of the second chip  20  and the third chip  30  are defective, and the second chip  20  and the third chip  30  may be further tested separately to locate the defective chip(s). 
     The single vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer may include the TSV  120 , the TSV  123 , the first rewiring layer  1201 , and the second rewiring layer  2301 .

Hence, an electrical performance of the first chip  10  in the chip stack can be tested. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the single vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer may include the TSV  220 , the TSV  123 , the first rewiring layer  1201 , and the second rewiring layer  2301 . The first rewiring layer  1201  connects the TSV  220  and the TSV  123 , and the second rewiring layer  2301  connected to the TSV  123  further provides an outside contact for the interconnection layer  211  in the second chip  20 . Hence, an electrical performance of the second chip  20  in the chip stack can be tested. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the single vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer may include the TSV  320  and the second rewiring layer  2301 . The second rewiring layer  2301  is connected to the TSV  320 , and thereby provides an outside contact for the interconnection layer  311  in the third chip  30 . Hence, an electrical performance of the third chip  30  in the chip stack can be tested. 
     In the foregoing embodiments, the electrical vertical interconnections, which include TSVs and rewiring layers connected to the TSV, of the bonding structure are formed in the chip stack through a TSV technique. Hence, an electrical performance of a single layer in the chip stack may be tested, or electrical performances of a part the layers in the chip stack may be jointly tested, so as to locate the defective chip(s). Accordingly, the defective chip can be bypassed to utilize only qualified chips, which reduces a rejection rate. 
     Second Embodiment 
     In this embodiment, adjacent wafers in the wafer stack are bonded via a hybrid bonding structure. The hybrid bonding structure includes a dielectric bonding layer and a metal bonding pad in the dielectric bonding layer. The metal bonding pads of adjacent wafers are bonded to each other. One of the electrical vertical interconnections includes the metal bonding pad and a TSV connected to the metal bonding pad, and another of the electrical vertical interconnections includes another TSV. After the wafers in the wafer stack are subject to hybrid bonding, the electrical vertical interconnection including the metal bonding pad and the TSV connected to the metal bonding pad, or the electrical vertical interconnection including the other TSV, are formed through a TSV technique. Hence, an electrical performance of a single layer or multiple layers may be tested in the chip stacks that are arranged in an array on a wafer stack. 
     In this embodiment, adjacent wafers are bonded via the hybrid bonding structure, and the “hybrid” bonding structure refer to that a bonding interface is formed by different bonding materials. Herein the hybrid bonding structure includes the dielectric bonding layer and the metal bonding pad in the dielectric bonding layer. The metal bonding pad is electrically connected to the interconnection layer in such dielectric bonding layer, and may be formed directly on the interconnection layer, so as to implement electrical connection among the chips in a wafer or provide an outside contact for the interconnect layer in a chip. The dielectric bonding layer is made of a dielectric material for bonding, and may be of a single-layer or multi-layer structure. For example, the dielectric material may be silicon oxide (bonding oxide), silicon nitride, NDC (Nitrogen doped Silicon Carbide) or a combination thereof. The metal bonding pad may be made of a metal material for bonding, such as copper. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  14   . It is taken as an example that a quantity of the wafers is three to illustrate the bonding structure in detail. In order to facilitate description, the three wafers are called a first wafer, a second wafer and a third wafer, respectively. A first dielectric bonding layer  110  in the first wafer is bonded to a second dielectric bonding layer  210  in the second wafer, and a first metal bonding pad  112  in the first dielectric bonding layer  110  is bonded to a second metal bonding pad  212  in the second dielectric bonding layer  210 , so as to implement bonding between the first wafer and the second wafer. A first cover layer  1200  on the second wafer is bonded to a third dielectric bonding layer  310  in the third wafer, and a metal bonding pad  1202  in the first cover layer  1200  is bonded to a third metal bonding pad  312  in the third dielectric bonding layer  310 , so as to implement bonding between the second wafer and the third wafer. Hence, the wafer stack including the three wafers is formed. Other wafers may be further bonded on the third wafer to form a wafer stack having more wafers. In an embodiment, the metal bonding pad and the interconnection layer in the same dielectric bonding layer may be simultaneously formed. 
     In embodiments of the present disclosure, the chips on the wafers are bonded to form chip stacks when the wafers are bonded to form the wafer stack, such that the chip stacks are arranged in an array in the wafer stack. Herein only one chip stack in the wafer stack is described in detail. In order to facilitate description, the three chips in such chip stack are called a first chip  10 , a second chip  20 , and a third chip  30 , respectively. Reference is made to  FIG.  14   . 
     In an embodiment, one of the electrical vertical interconnections that are formed in the chip stack includes a metal bonding pad and a TSV connected to the metal bonding pad, and another of the electrical vertical interconnections includes another TSV. The electrical vertical interconnections may include a thorough vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of all layers of chips, and a partial vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers or a single vertical interconnection that is connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer.

Hence, interconnection is implemented among the first chip  10 , the second chip  20 , and the third chip  30 . The second rewiring layer  2301  connected to the TSV  123  further provides an outside contact for the chip stack. Thereby, the electrical vertical interconnection including the metal bonding pads and the TSVs connected to the metal bonding pads is formed, which enables a test on an electrical performance of the chip stack. Passing the test indicates that all chips in the chip stack are qualified.

Further, the TSV  123  and the second rewiring layer  2301  connected to the TSV  123  provide an outside contact for the interconnection layers in the first chip  10  and the third chip  30  to form the partial vertical interconnection connecting the first chip  10  and the third chip  30 . Hence, electrical performances of the first chip  10  and the third chip  30  can be tested jointly. 
     The single vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer may include a TSV  120  penetrating to an interconnection layer  111  in the first chip  10 , a TSV  320 , a first rewiring layer  1201 , and a second rewiring layer  2301 . The first rewiring layer  1201  connects the TSV  120  and the TSV  320 , and the TSV  320  is connected to the second rewiring layer  2301  to provide an outside contact for the interconnection layer  111  in the first chip  10 . Thereby, the single vertical interconnection including TSVs is formed, and an electrical performance of the first chip  10  in the chip stack can be tested. 
     Alternatively or additionally, the single vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer may include a TSV  220  penetrating to an interconnection layer  211  in the second chip  20 , a TSV  320 , a first rewiring layer  1201 , and a second rewiring layer  2301 .

Hence, an electrical performance of the second chip  20  in the chip stack can be tested. 
     Alternatively or additionally, the single vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer may include a TSV  123  penetrating to an interconnection layer  311  in the third chip  30 , and a second rewiring layer  2301 . The second rewiring layer  2301  provides an outside contact for the interconnection layer  311  in the third chip  30  to form the single vertical interconnection including a TSV. Hence, an electrical performance of the third chip  30  in the chip stack can be tested. 
     The electrical vertical interconnections of the foregoing bonding structure are formed through in the chip stack through a hybrid bonding technique and a TSV technique. One of the electrical vertical interconnections include the metal bonding pad and the TSV connected to the metal bonding pad, and another of the electrical vertical interconnections includes another TSV. Hence, an electrical performance of a single layer of chip(s) in the chip stack or electrical performances of multiple layers of chips in the chip stack may be tested to locate the defective chip(s). 
     Afterwards, the bonding structure may be packaged. During the packaging, qualified chips may be selectively connected, while the electrical vertical interconnections connecting the defective chip(s) are avoided in the connection. Hence, the qualified chips can be fully utilized to reduce a rejection rate. 
     Hereinabove the bonding structure according to embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated in detail. Another bonding structure is further provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Such boding structure includes a chip stack. The chip stack includes multiple layers of chips bonded in sequence. Electrical vertical interconnections are formed in the chip stack. The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to an interconnection layer of each of the multiple layers, and a partial vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a part of the multiple layers and/or a single vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer of the multiple layers. 
     In an embodiment, the thorough vertical interconnection enables a test on electrical performances of all layers of chips in the chip stack, the partial vertical interconnection enables a test on electrical performances of some layers of chips in the chip stack, and the single vertical interconnection enables a test on an electrical performance of a certain layer of chip(s) in the chip stack. 
     In a specific embodiment, electrical performances of all layers that are electrically connected in the chip stack may be first tested via the thorough vertical interconnection. Passing the test indicates that there is no defective chip in the chip stack, and the chip stack may be further processed, for example, packaged in a subsequent step. Failing the test indicates that there is a defective chip in the chip stack, and electrical performances of a part of the layers of chips that are electrically connected may be further tested. In a case that such part of the layers passes the teste, the electrical performances of another part of the layers of chips may be further tested. In a case that such part of the layers of chips fails the test, it indicates that there is the defective chip in such part of the layers, and these layers may be further tested separately via single vertical interconnections, so as to locate the defective chip. It is not necessary to test the electrical performance of each layer in the chip stack, which improves an efficiency of testing the electrical performance. 
     Hereinabove the bonding structure is described in detail. Hereinafter a method for manufacturing the aforementioned bonding structure is described in detail according to various embodiments in conjunction with  FIG.  1    to  FIG.  15   . The present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. By using the method and technical content as disclosed above, those skilled in the art can make various possible variations and on technical solutions of the present disclosure or acquire equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of technical solutions of the present disclosure. 
     Herein a method for manufacturing a bonding structure is described in detail in conjunction with  FIG.  1    to  FIG.  8   . 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  1   . A bottom wafer is provided, and chips  10  are arranged in an array on the bottom wafer. A dielectric bonding layer  110  is formed on the bottom wafer. Herein the bottom wafer may also be called a first wafer. 
     Each to-be-bonded wafer is provided. Chips are arranged in an array on each to-be-bonded wafer, and a dielectric bonding layer is formed on each to-be-bonded wafer. Herein the to-be-bonded wafers may be called a second wafer, a third wafer, and the like. 
     The to-be-bonded wafers are sequentially bonded on the bottom wafer via the dielectric bonding layers. After each to-be-bonded wafer is bonded, a TSV and a rewiring layer electrically connected to the TSV are formed. Thereby, a wafer stack having chip stacks arranged in an array, and electrical vertical interconnections in the chip stacks, are formed. The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to an interconnection layer of all layers of chips, and a partial vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of each of a part of the layers of chips and/or a single vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer of the layers of chips. 
     Hereinafter the bottom wafer is called a first wafer, and the to-be-bonded wafers are called a second wafer, a third wafer, and the like to clarify the description. Reference is made to  FIG.  1   , which shows a chip structure, i.e., a first chip  10 , in the first wafer. The first wafer and the second wafer are bonded to forming a wafer stack via the dielectric bonding layer  110  on the first wafer and a dielectric bonding layer  210  on the second wafer. In order to facilitate subsequent TSV fabrication, a backside of the substrate  200  of the second wafer may be thinned, for example, through chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or wet etching (WET). Reference is made to  FIG.  2   , which shows a structure of a chip stack in the wafer stack formed by bonding the first wafer and the second wafer. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  3   , where TSVs penetrating to the interconnection layers in the chips are formed in the bonded wafers. An insulating dielectric layer may be formed on a sidewall of the TSV, and may be made of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, or the like. The TSV may be then filled with a metal material, such as tungsten, aluminum, or copper. A TSV  120  penetrates to the interconnection layer  111  of the first chip  10  in the first wafer, and a TSV  220  penetrates to the interconnection layer  211  of the second chip  20  in the second wafer. Thereby, the interconnection layers of the first chip  10  in the first wafer and of the second chip  20  in the second wafer can be provided with outside contacts, respectively, which enables a test on electrical performances of the first chip  10  and the second chip  20 . Reference is then made to  FIG.  4   , where a first cover layer  1200  is formed on the second wafer, and a first rewiring layer  1201  is formed in the first cover layer  1200 . The first cover layer  1200  may be of a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. A material of the first cover layer  1200  may be the same as or different from the material of the dielectric bonding layer. The first rewiring layer  1201  may be made of metal, such as Tungsten, aluminum, or copper. The first rewiring layer  1201  connects the TSV  120  and TSV  220 , implementing interconnection between the interconnection layer  111  of the first chip  10  in the first wafer and the interconnection layer  211  of the second chip  20  in the second wafer. Hence, the thorough vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of all layers of chips in the chip stack is formed. The TSV  120  is connected to the first rewiring layer  1201 , and the TSV  220  is connected to the first rewiring layer  1201 , which forms single vertical interconnections that each provides an outside contact for a single layer. 
     Then, the third wafer is further bonded. A third dielectric bonding layer  310  on the third wafer may be bonded to the first cover layer  1200  to achieve the bonding between the third wafer and the second wafer. Thereby, a wafer stack including three wafers is formed. Reference is made to  FIG.  5   , which is a structure of one chip stack in the wafer stack including three wafers. The chip stack is subject to TSV fabrication to form a TSV  123  penetrating to the first rewiring layer  1201  and a TSV  320  penetrating to an interconnection layer  311  of the third chip  30  in the third wafer, as shown in  FIG.  6   . Afterwards, a second cover layer  2300  is formed on the third wafer, and a material of the second cover layer  2300  may be the same as or different from the material of the first cover layer  1200 . A second rewiring layer  2301  is formed in the second cover layer  2300 . The second rewiring layer  2301  is connected to the TSV  123  and the TSV  320 , and thereby the electrical vertical interconnections for the three-layer chip stack are formed, as shown in  FIG.  7   . The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of all layers of chips, a partial vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layers which is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers of chips, and a single vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer of the layers of chips. 
     In an embodiment, at least a part of the rewiring layers is connected to TSVs that are adjacent and penetrate to different depths. As shown in  FIG.  7   , the first rewiring layer  1201  is connected to the TSV  120  and the TSV  220 , which are adjacent and penetrate downward to different depths. The second rewiring layer  2301  is connected to the TSV  123  and the TSV  320 , which are adjacent and penetrate downward to different depths. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  8   . In an embodiment, a pad  2302  may be formed on the topmost rewiring layer, in order to provide an outside contact for different electrical vertical interconnections. Different electrical vertical interconnections may be selected to implement a test on an electrical performance of the chip stack, of some layers of chips in the chip stack, or of single layers in the chip stack, so as to locate the defective chip(s). 
     In an embodiment, the wafer stack is diced to obtain the discrete chip stacks after the wafer stack is formed. Electrical performances of the chip stacks may be tested before or after the dicing, so as to filter out the defective chips before subsequent packaging. In an embodiment, the wafer stack may be diced along scribe lines among the chips in the wafer stack, so as to obtain the multiple chip stacks. 
     Another method for manufacturing a bonding structure is described in detail according to embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with  FIG.  9    to  FIG.  15   . 
     A bottom wafer is provided. Chips are arranged in an array in the wafer stack. A hybrid bonding structure is formed on the bottom wafer, and the hybrid bonding structure includes a dielectric bonding layer  110  and a metal bonding pad  112  in the dielectric bonding layer  110 . Reference is made to  FIG.  9   , where a part of an interconnection layer  111  in the bottom wafer is electrically connected to the metal bonding pad  112 . Similar to the foregoing description, hereinafter the bottom wafer is called a first wafer, 
     Each to-be-bonded wafer is provided. Other chips are arranged in an array in each to-be-bonded wafer, and another hybrid bonding structure is formed on each to-be-bonded wafer. A part of another interconnection layer in the to-be-bonded wafer is electrically connected to another metal bonding pad. The to-be-bonded wafers are called a second wafer, a third wafer, or the like, for consistency of describing embodiments of the present disclosure. 
     The to-be-bonded wafers are sequentially bonded on the bottom wafer via the hybrid bonding structures. A TSV is formed after each to-be-bonded wafer is bonded. In a case that there are multiple to-be-bonded wafers, the method further includes a following step after the TSV is formed. A new hybrid bonding structure is formed on the TSV. The new hybrid bonding structure includes a new dielectric bonding layer and a new metal bonding pad in the new dielectric bonding layer, and a part of the TSVs in the to-be-bonded wafer is electrically connected to the new metal bonding pad. Thereby, the wafer stack having chip stacks arranged in an array and electrical vertical interconnections in the chip stacks are formed. The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to an interconnection layer of all layers of chips, and a partial vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of each of a part of the layers of chips and/or a single vertical interconnection which is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer of the layers of chips. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  10   . In an embodiment, the first dielectric bonding layer  110  on the first wafer and the first metal bonding pad  112  in the first dielectric bonding layer  110  are bonded to the second dielectric bonding layer  210  on the second wafer and the second metal bonding pad  212  in the second dielectric bonding layer  210 , respectively, so as to form a wafer stack. After the first wafer and the second wafer are bonded, a backside of the substrate  200  of the second wafer may be thinned, for example, through chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or wet etching (WET), to facilitate subsequent TSV fabrication. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  11   , where TSVs penetrating to interconnection layers in a chip is formed in the wafer stack. A TSV  120  penetrates to the interconnection layer  111  of the first chip  10  in the first wafer, and a TSV  220  penetrates to the interconnection layer  211  of the second chip  20  in the second wafer. Thereby, the first chip  10  and the second chip  20  are provided with respective outside contacts, which enable tests on electrical performances of the first chip  10  in the first wafer and the second chip  20  in the second wafer, respectively. Reference is further made to  FIG.  12   , where a first cover layer  1200  is formed on the second wafer, and a first rewiring layer  1201  and a first metal bonding pad  1202  on the first rewiring layer  1201  are formed in the first cover layer  1200 . The first metal bonding pad  112  is bonded to the second metal bonding pad  212 , and further connected to the first rewiring layer  1201  via the TSV  220  connected to the interconnection layer  211 , which forms a thorough vertical interconnection for the two-layer chip stack. The TSV  120  is connected to the interconnection layer  111  in the first chip  10 , and the TSV  220  is connected to the interconnection layer  211  in the second chip  20 , such that single vertical interconnections that are electrically connected to the interconnection layers of the single layers, respectively, are provided. 
     Then, the third wafer may be bonded. A third dielectric bonding layer  310  on the third wafer may be bonded to the first cover layer  1200 , and a third metal bonding pad  312  may bonded to the metal bonding pad  1202  in the first rewiring layer  1201 , in order to implement bonding between the second wafer and the third wafer. Thereby, a wafer stack including the three wafers is formed, and each wafer has chips arranged in an array. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  13   , where the chips in the wafers are bonded form the chip stack when the wafers are bonded to form the wafer stack. Afterwards, the chip stack is subject to TSV fabrication to form a TSV  123  penetrating to an interconnection layer  311  of the third chip  30  in the third wafer and a TSV  320  penetrating to the first rewiring layer  1201 . A second rewiring layer  2301  is formed over the TSV  123  and the TSV  320 , and the second rewiring layer  2301  is formed in a second cover layer  2300 . Reference is made to  FIG.  14   . Thereby, the electrical vertical interconnections for the three-layer chip stack are formed. The electrical vertical interconnections include a thorough vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of all layers of chips, a partial vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layers of a part of the layers of chips, and a single vertical interconnection that is electrically connected to the interconnection layer of a single layer of the layers of chips. 
     Reference is made to  FIG.  15   . In an embodiment, a pad  2302  may be formed on the topmost rewiring layer  2301 , in order to provide an outside contact for different electrical vertical interconnections. Different electrical vertical interconnections may be selected to implement tests on an electrical performance of the chip stack, of some layers in the chip stack, or a single layer in the chip stack, so as to locate the defective chip(s). Hence, the defective chip can be bypassed to utilize only the qualitied chips, which reduces a rejection rate. 
     In an embodiment, the wafer stack is diced after being formed, so as to obtain the discrete chip stacks. Electrical performances of the chip stacks may be tested before or after the dicing, so as to filter out the defective chips before subsequent packaging on the qualified chips. In an embodiment, the wafer stack may be diced along scribe lines among the chips in the wafer stack, so as to obtain the multiple chip stacks.
