Abstract:
A semiconductor device has a semiconductor substrate and a first metallization stack arranged on the substrate. The substrate has and/or carries a plurality of electronic circuit elements. The first metallization stack has electrically insulating layers and at least one metallization layer. The semiconductor device further has a second metallization stack arranged on the first metallization stack and comprising further electrically insulating layers and an optical waveguide layer. The optical waveguide layer has at least one optical waveguide structure. Furthermore, one of the electrically insulating layers and one of the further electrically insulating layers are in direct contact with each other and form a pair of directly bonded layers.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 9 , wherein\n the second metallization stack of the second wafer comprises at least one further metallization layer; and the method further comprises opening at least one opening extending at least partially through the first metallization stack and at least partially through the second metallization stack, wherein the at least one opening exposes a first metallization layer of the at least one metallization layer and a second metallization layer of the at least one further metallization layer; and forming a connection material connecting the first and the second metallization layer and covering at least partially the at least one opening.
