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.

An integrated circuit (IC) die structure comprises a substrate material comprising silicon. Integrated circuitry is over a first side of the substrate material. A composite layer is in direct contact with a second side of the substrate material. The second side is opposite the first side. The composite layer comprises a first constituent material associated with a first linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and a first thermal conductivity exceeding that of the substrate. The composite layer also comprises a second constituent material associated with a second CTE that is lower than the first, and a second thermal conductivity exceeding that of the substrate.
