Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) die is provided. In some embodiments, a first IC die comprises a first semiconductor substrate, a first interconnect structure over the first semiconductor substrate, and a first hybrid bond (HB) structure over the first interconnect structure. The first HB structure comprises a HB link layer and a HB contact layer extending from the HB link layer to the first interconnect structure. A second IC die is over the first IC die, and comprises a second semiconductor substrate, a second HB structure, and a second interconnect structure between the second semiconductor substrate and the second HB structure. The second HB structure contacts the first HB structure. A seal-ring structure is in the first and second IC dies. Further, the seal-ring structure extends from the first semiconductor substrate to the second semiconductor substrate, and is defined in part by the HB contact layer.

Claim (Index 16):
The IC die according to  claim 9 , further comprising:\n a first passivation layer over the first and second substrates, wherein the pad structure overhangs the first passivation layer and protrudes through the first passivation layer; and a second passivation layer covering the first passivation layer and the pad structure, wherein the second passivation layer defines a pair of openings, and wherein the pad structure is sandwiched between the openings.
