Composite integrated circuit (IC) device structures that include two components coupled through a hybrid bonded composite interconnect structure. The two components may be two different monolithic IC structures (e.g., chips) that are bonded over substantially planar dielectric and metallization interfaces. Composite interconnect metallization features formed at a bond interface may be doped with a metal or chalcogenide dopant. The dopant may migrate to a periphery of the composite interconnect structure and form a barrier material that will then limit outdiffusion of a metal, such as copper, into adjacent dielectric material.
