A method of wafer bonding includes: forming a first hole in a first insulation layer disposed over a first substrate; performing a first deposition-self-etch process to deposit a first conductive material in the first hole to form a first conductive plug; forming a second hole in a second insulation layer disposed over a second substrate; performing a second deposition-self-etch process to deposit a second conductive material in the second hole to form a second conductive plug; and bonding the first conductive plug with the second conductive plug to form a first grain fusion layer between the first conductive plug and the second conductive plug.

Dielets on flexible and stretchable packaging for microelectronics are provided. Configurations of flexible, stretchable, and twistable microelectronic packages are achieved by rendering chip layouts, including processors and memories, in distributed collections of dielets implemented on flexible and/or stretchable media. High-density communication between the dielets is achieved with various direct-bonding or hybrid bonding techniques that achieve high conductor count and very fine pitch on flexible substrates. An example process uses high-density interconnects direct-bonded or hybrid bonded between standard interfaces of dielets to create a flexible microelectronics package. In another example, a process uses high-density interconnections direct-bonded between native interconnects of the dielets to create the flexible microelectronics packages, without the standard interfaces.

Exemplary embodiments for redistribution layers of integrated circuits are disclosed. The redistribution layers of integrated circuits of the present disclosure include one or more arrays of conductive contacts that are configured and arranged to allow a bonding wave to displace air between the redistribution layers during bonding. This configuration and arrangement of the one or more arrays minimize discontinuities, such as pockets of air to provide an example, between the redistribution layers during the bonding.
