Advanced metal-to-metal direct bonding
A first semiconductor structure having a first metallic structure that has a convex outermost surface and a second semiconductor structure having a second metallic structure that has a concave outermost surface are first provided. The first and second metallic structures are provided utilizing liner systems that have an opposite galvanic reaction to the metal or metal alloy that constitutes the first and second metallic structures such that during a planarization process the metal liners have a different removal rate than the metal or metal alloy that constitutes the first and second metallic structures. The first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure are then bonded together such that the convex outermost surface of the first metallic structure is in direct contact with the concave outermost surface of the second metallic structure.
SUPERHYDROPHOBIC SURFACES FOR LIQUID CONTAINMENT IN SELF-ALIGNMENT ASSISTED ASSEMBLY OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DIE STACKS
Hybrid bonded die stacks, related apparatuses, systems, and methods of fabrication are disclosed. One or both of an integrated circuit (IC) die hybrid bonding region and a base substrate hybrid bonding region are surrounded by superhydrophobic structures that have a contact angle not less than 150 degrees. The hybrid bonding regions are brought together with a liquid droplet therebetween, and capillary forces cause the IC die to self-align. The liquid droplet is pinned to the hybrid bonding regions by the superhydrophobic structures. A hybrid bond is formed by evaporating the droplet and a subsequent anneal.
MICRODEVICE INTEGRATION INTO SYSTEM SUBSTRATE
Post-processing steps for integrating of micro devices into system (receiver) substrate or improving the performance of the micro devices after transfer. Post processing steps for additional structures such as reflective layers, fillers, black matrix or other layers may be used to improve the out coupling or confining of the generated LED light. Dielectric and metallic layers may be used to integrate an electro-optical thin film device into the system substrate with transferred micro devices. Color conversion layers may be integrated into the system substrate to create different outputs from the micro devices.

DIFFUSION BARRIER FOR INTERCONNECTS
Representative implementations of techniques and devices are used to reduce or prevent conductive material diffusion into insulating or dielectric material of bonded substrates. Misaligned conductive structures can come into direct contact with a dielectric portion of the substrates due to overlap, especially while employing direct bonding techniques. A barrier interface that can inhibit the diffusion is disposed generally between the conductive material and the dielectric at the overlap.
