Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) is provided. In some embodiments, a first IC die comprises a first bonding structure and a first interconnect structure over a first semiconductor substrate. A second IC die is disposed over the first IC die and comprises a second bonding structure and a second interconnect structure over a second semiconductor substrate. A seal-ring structure is in the first and second IC dies and extends from the first semiconductor substrate to the second semiconductor substrate. A plurality of through silicon via (TSV) coupling structures is arranged in the peripheral region of the 3D IC along an inner perimeter of the seal-ring structure. The plurality of TSV coupling structures respectively comprises a through silicon via (TSV) disposed in the second semiconductor substrate and electrically coupling to the 3D IC through a stack of TSV wiring layers and inter-wire vias.

Claim (Index 10):
The 3D IC according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a three-dimensional (3D) IC circuitry arranged in the first and second IC dies, wherein the seal-ring structure encloses the 3D IC circuitry so as to protect the 3D IC circuitry, and the plurality of TSV coupling structures laterally encompass the 3D IC circuitry and electrically coupled to the 3D IC circuitry.
