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 6):
A bonded structure comprising:\n a first element comprising a conductive first contact structure and a non-metallic first bonding region proximate the first contact structure, the first contact structure comprising a conductive first elongate contact feature and the non-metallic first bonding region comprises silicon oxide; and a second element comprising a conductive second contact structure and a non-metallic second bonding region proximate the second contact structure, the second contact structure comprising a conductive second contact feature, wherein the first bonding region is in contact with and directly bonded to the second bonding region, wherein the first elongate contact feature is oriented non-parallel with and directly contacts the second contact feature at an intersection between the first elongate contact feature and the second contact feature, the first elongate contact feature being elongated along an interface between the first and second elements.
