A multi-chip unit suitable for chip-level packaging may include multiple IC chips that are interconnected through a metal redistribution structure, and that are directly bonded to an integrated heat spreader. Bonding of the integrated heat spreader to the multiple IC chips may be direct so that no thermal interface material (TIM) is needed, resulting in a reduced bond line thickness (BLT) and lower thermal resistance. The integrated heat spreader may further serve as a structural member of the multi-chip unit, allowing a second side of the redistribution structure to be further interconnected to a host by solder interconnects. The redistribution structure may be fabricated on a sacrificial interposer that may facilitate planarizing IC chips of differing thickness prior to bonding the heat spreader. The sacrificial interposer may be removed to expose the RDL for further interconnection to a substrate without the use of through-substrate vias.

Representative implementations of techniques and devices are used to reduce or prevent conductive material diffusion into insulating or dielectric material of bonded substrates. Misaligned conductive structures can come into direct contact with a dielectric portion of the substrates due to overlap, especially while employing direct bonding techniques. A barrier interface that can inhibit the diffusion is disposed generally between the conductive material and the dielectric at the overlap.
