Abstract:
A method for forming a direct hybrid bond and a device resulting from a direct hybrid bond including a first substrate having a first set of metallic bonding pads, preferably connected to a device or circuit, capped by a conductive barrier, and having a first non-metallic region adjacent to the metallic bonding pads on the first substrate, a second substrate having a second set of metallic bonding pads capped by a second conductive barrier, aligned with the first set of metallic bonding pads, preferably connected to a device or circuit, and having a second non-metallic region adjacent to the metallic bonding pads on the second substrate, and a contact-bonded interface between the first and second set of metallic bonding pads capped by conductive barriers formed by contact bonding of the first non-metallic region to the second non-metallic region.

Claim (Index 1):
A structure, comprising:\n a direct hybrid bond surface comprising:\n a dielectric layer, \n conductive contact structures, and \n a first conductive barrier material layer formed directly on an upper surface of each of said conductive contact structures, \n wherein an upper surface of said conductive barrier layer is recessed about one to ten nm below an upper surface of said dielectric layer.
