Electronic assemblies may be fabricated with interconnects of different types present in multiple locations and comprising fused copper nanoparticles. Each interconnect or a portion thereof comprises a bulk copper matrix formed from fusion of copper nanoparticles or a reaction product formed from copper nanoparticles. The interconnects may comprise a copper-based wire bonding assembly, a copper-based flip chip connection, a copper-based hermetic seal assembly, a copper-based connector between an IC substrate and a package substrate, a copper-based component interconnect, a copper-based interconnect comprising via copper for establishing electrical communication between opposite faces of a package substrate, a copper-based interconnect defining a heat channel formed from via copper, and any combination thereof.

An integrated circuit device may include a multi-material toothed bond pad including (a) an array of vertically-extending teeth formed from a first material, e.g., aluminum, and (b) a fill material, e.g., silver, at least partially filling voids between the array of teeth. The teeth may be formed by depositing and etching aluminum or other suitable material, and the fill material may be deposited over the array of teeth and extending down into the voids between the teeth, and etched to expose top surfaces of the teeth. The array of teeth may collectively define an abrasive structure. The multi-material toothed bond pad may be bonded to another bond pad, e.g., using an ultrasonic or thermosonic bonding process, during which the abrasive teeth may abrade, break, or remove unwanted native oxide layers formed on the respective bond pad surfaces, to thereby create a direct and/or eutectic bonding between the bond pads.
