An embodiment method for forming a semiconductor package includes attaching a first die to a first carrier, depositing a first isolation material around the first die, and after depositing the first isolation material, bonding a second die to the first die. Bonding the second die to the first die includes forming a dielectric-to-dielectric bond.

A semiconductor device has a first semiconductor die including a first protection circuit. A second semiconductor die including a second protection circuit is disposed over the first semiconductor die. A portion of the first semiconductor die and second semiconductor die is removed to reduce die thickness. An interconnect structure is formed to commonly connect the first protection circuit and second protection circuit. A transient condition incident to the interconnect structure is collectively discharged through the first protection circuit and second protection circuit.

The die stacking can be achieved by disposing a first semiconductor wafer over a second semiconductor wafer and then singulating the wafers. Alternatively, die-to-wafer or die-to-die assembly is used.
