    Abstract: A semiconductor element is provided with a micro-structured metal layer over conductive features of a hybrid bonding surface. The micro-structured metal layer comprises fine metal grain microstructure, such as nanograins. The micro-structured metal layer can be formed over the conductive features by providing a metal oxide and reducing the metal oxide to metal. The micro-structured metal layer can be formed selectively if the metal oxide is formed by oxidation. When directly bonded to another element, the micro-structured metal layer forming strong bonds at the bonding interface can substantially reduce annealing temperature.

    Abstract: A first conductive feature of a first substrate is bonded to a second conductive feature of a second substrate. The first conductive feature is formed by depositing a conductive base layer on the first substrate, the first substrate having an opening formed therein, recessing the conductive base layer in the opening, and depositing a conductive surface layer on the recessed conductive base layer. Hybrid bonding of the first substrate to the second substrate is performed without use of an intervening adhesive to connect the first conductive feature and the second conductive feature.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for integrated cooling systems including backside power delivery and methods of manufacturing the same. An integrated cooling assembly may include a device and a cold plate. The cold plate has a first side and an opposite second side, the first side having a recessed surface, sidewalls around the recessed surface that extend downwardly therefrom to define a cavity, and a plurality of support features disposed in the cavity. The first side of the cold plate is attached to a backside of the device to define a coolant channel therebetween. The cold plate includes a substrate, a dielectric layer disposed on a first surface of the substrate, a first conductive layer disposed between the first surface and the dielectric layer, a second conductive layer disposed on a second surface of the substrate, and thru-substrate interconnects connecting the first conductive layer to the second conductive layer.

    Abstract: Representative techniques and devices, including process steps may be employed to mitigate undesired dishing in conductive interconnect structures and erosion of dielectric bonding surfaces. For example, an embedded layer may be added to the dished or eroded surface to eliminate unwanted dishing or voids and to form a planar bonding surface. Additional techniques and devices, including process steps may be employed to form desired openings in conductive interconnect structures, where the openings can have a predetermined or desired volume relative to the volume of conductive material of the interconnect structures. Each of these techniques, devices, and processes can provide for the use of larger diameter, larger volume, or mixed-sized conductive interconnect structures at the bonding surface of bonded dies and wafers.
