Microelectronic assemblies fabricated using hybrid manufacturing for integrating photonic and electronic components, as well as related devices and methods, are disclosed herein. As used herein, hybrid manufacturing refers to fabricating a microelectronic assembly by bonding at least two IC structures fabricated using different manufacturers, materials, or manufacturing techniques. Before bonding, at least one IC structure may include photonic components such as optical waveguides, electro-optic modulators, and monolithically integrated lenses, and at least one may include electronic components such as electrically conductive interconnects, transistors, and resistors. One or more additional electronic and/or photonic components may be provided in one or more of these IC structures after bonding. For example, an interconnect implemented as an electrically conductive via or a waveguide implemented as a dielectric via may be provided after bonding to extend through one or more of the bonded IC structures.

Disclosed are semiconductor devices and methods of fabricating the same. The semiconductor device includes a first dielectric layer including a first pad, a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, a through electrode that penetrates the second dielectric layer and is electrically connected to the first pad, an upper passivation layer on the second dielectric layer, a second pad on the upper passivation layer, and an upper barrier layer between the upper passivation layer and the second pad. The first pad and the through electrode include a first material. The second pad includes a second material that is different from the first material of the first pad and the through electrode. The second pad includes a first part on the upper passivation layer, and a second part that extends from the first part into the upper passivation layer and is connected to the through electrode.

A method of forming a microelectronic device structure comprises coiling a portion of a wire up and around at least one sidewall of a structure protruding from a substrate. At least one interface between an upper region of the structure and an upper region of the coiled portion of the wire is welded to form a fused region between the structure and the wire.
