Abstract:
A bonded device structure including a first substrate having a first set of conductive contact structures, preferably connected to a device or circuit, and having a first non-metallic region adjacent to the contact structures on the first substrate, a second substrate having a second set of conductive contact structures, preferably connected to a device or circuit, and having a second non-metallic region adjacent to the contact structures on the second substrate, and a contact-bonded interface between the first and second set of contact structures formed by contact bonding of the first non-metallic region to the second non-metallic region. The contact structures include elongated contact features, such as individual lines or lines connected in a grid, that are non-parallel on the two substrates, making contact at intersections. Alignment tolerances are thus improved while minimizing dishing and parasitic capacitance.

Claim (Index 4):
The method of  claim 2 , wherein directly bonding the first bonding region with the second bonding region comprises leaving an initial gap between the first elongate contact and the second contact feature, and heating the first and second elements to cause the first elongate contact feature to directly contact the second elongate contact feature.
