Embodiments herein describe techniques for bonded wafers that includes a first wafer bonded with a second wafer, and a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer. The first wafer has a first stress level at a first location, and a second stress level different from the first stress level at a second location. The stress compensation layer includes a first material at a first location of the stress compensation layer that induces a third stress level at the first location of the first wafer, a second material different from the first material at a second location of the stress compensation layer that induces a fourth stress level different from the third stress level at the second location of the first wafer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

A memory array and single-crystal circuitry are provided by wafer bonding (e.g., adhesive wafer bonding or anodic wafer bonding) in the same integrated circuit and interconnected by conductors of an interconnect layer. Additional circuitry or memory arrays may be provided by additional wafer bonds and electrically connected by interconnect layers at the wafer bonding interface. The memory array may include storage or memory transistors having single-crystal epitaxial silicon channel material.

A production of voids between substrates is prevented when the substrates are bonded together, and the substrates are bonded together at a high positional precision while suppressing a strain. A method for bonding a first substrate and a second substrate includes a step of performing hydrophilization treatment to cause water or an OH containing substance to adhere to bonding surface of the first substrate and the bonding surface of the second substrate, a step of disposing the first substrate and the second substrate with the respective bonding surfaces facing each other, and bowing the first substrate in such a way that a central portion of the bonding surface protrudes toward the second substrate side relative to an outer circumferential portion of the bonding surface, a step of abutting the bonding surface of the first substrate with the bonding surface of the second substrate at the respective central portions, and a step of abutting the bonding surface of the first substrate with the bonding surface of the second substrate across the entirety of the bonding surfaces, decreasing a distance between the outer circumferential portion of the first substrate and an outer circumferential portion of the second substrate with the respective central portions abutting each other at a pressure that maintains a non-bonded condition.

A semiconductor device includes a first laminated body and a second laminated body. The first laminated body includes sequentially a first element, a first wiring layer, and a first connection layer that includes a first junction electrode, on a main surface of a first substrate. The second laminated body includes sequentially a second element, a second wiring layer, and a second connection layer that includes a second junction electrode, on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate. The first laminated body and the second laminated body are bonded by directly bonding the first junction electrode and the second junction electrode with the two junction electrodes facing each other. A space region is formed at a part of a junction interface between the first laminated body and the second laminated body.
