A method and structure for forming a 3D chip stack using a vacuum chuck. The method may include: forming a first bonding layer on a first wafer and first chips, where the first chips are on a first substrate; forming a second bonding layer on a second wafer and second chips, where the second chips are on a second substrate; separating the second chips from the second wafer, wherein a portion of the second bonding layer remains on the second chips; moving the separated second chips to a cleaning chamber using a vacuum chuck; cleaning the separated second chips in the cleaning chamber; and bonding the second bonding layer on the separated second chips to the first bonding layer on the first chips.
