Abstract

See full text

A wafer-to-wafer semiconductor device includes a first wafer substrate having a first bonding layer formed on a first bulk substrate layer. A second wafer substrate includes a second bonding layer formed on a second bulk substrate layer. The second bonding layer is bonded to the first bonding layer to define a bonding interface. At least one of the first wafer substrate and the second wafer substrate includes a crack-arresting film layer configured to increase a bonding energy of the bonding interface.
