In an embodiment, a method includes attaching a first package component to a first carrier, the first package component comprising: an aluminum pad disposed adjacent to a substrate; a sacrificial pad disposed adjacent to the substrate, the sacrificial pad comprising a major surface opposite the substrate, a protrusion of the sacrificial pad extending from the major surface; and a dielectric bond layer disposed around the aluminum pad and the sacrificial pad; attaching a second carrier to the first package component and the first carrier, the first package component being interposed between the first carrier and the second carrier; removing the first carrier; planarizing the dielectric bond layer to comprise a top surface being coplanar with the protrusion; and etching a portion of the protrusion.

A copper paste for pressureless bonding is a copper paste for pressureless bonding, containing: metal particles; and a dispersion medium, in which the metal particles include sub-micro copper particles having a volume average particle diameter of greater than or equal to 0.01 μm and less than or equal to 0.8 μm, and micro copper particles having a volume average particle diameter of greater than or equal to 2.0 μm and less than or equal to 50 μm, and the dispersion medium contains a solvent having a boiling point of higher than or equal to 300° C., and a content of the solvent having a boiling point of higher than or equal to 300° C. is greater than or equal to 2 mass % on the basis of a total mass of the copper paste for pressureless bonding.

In some examples, an electronic device comprises a first component having a surface, a second component having a surface, and a bond layer positioned between the surfaces of the first and second components to couple the first and second components to each other. The bond layer includes a set of metallic nanowires and a dielectric portion. The dielectric portion comprises a polymer matrix and dielectric nanoparticles.

Embodiments herein describe techniques for bonded wafers that includes a first wafer bonded with a second wafer, and a stress compensation layer in contact with the first wafer or the second wafer. The first wafer has a first stress level at a first location, and a second stress level different from the first stress level at a second location. The stress compensation layer includes a first material at a first location of the stress compensation layer that induces a third stress level at the first location of the first wafer, a second material different from the first material at a second location of the stress compensation layer that induces a fourth stress level different from the third stress level at the second location of the first wafer. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
