A bonded assembly includes a first semiconductor die that includes first semiconductor devices, and a first pad-level dielectric layer and embedding first bonding pads; and a second semiconductor die that includes second semiconductor devices, and a second pad-level dielectric layer embedding second bonding pads that includes a respective second pad base portion. Each of the first bonding pads includes a respective first pad base portion and a respective first metal alloy material portion having a higher coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the respective first pad base portion. Each of the second bonding pads is bonded to a respective one of the first bonding pads.

A method includes bonding a second package component to a first package component, bonding a third package component to the first package component, attaching a dummy die to the first package component, encapsulating the second package component, the third package component, and the dummy die in an encapsulant, and performing a planarization process to level a top surface of the second package component with a top surface of the encapsulant. After the planarization process, an upper portion of the encapsulant overlaps the dummy die. The dummy die is sawed-through to separate the dummy die into a first dummy die portion and a second dummy die portion. The upper portion of the encapsulant is also sawed through.

At least one polymer material may be employed to facilitate bonding between the semiconductor dies. Plasma treatment, formation of a blended polymer, or formation of polymer hairs may be employed to enhance bonding. Alternatively, air gaps can be formed by subsequently removing the polymer material to reduce capacitive coupling between adjacent bonding pads.
