An method for building multi-layer circuits without post process via fills is disclosed. The method includes aligning a first contact on a first substrate layer with a second contact on a second substrate layer; and fusion bonding the first contact to the second contact. A multilayer circuit is also disclosed. The multilayer circuit includes a first substrate layer including a first contact. The multilayer circuit also includes a second substrate layer including a second contact that is fusion bonded to the first contact such that the first and second contacts are aligned.
