    Abstract: In one embodiment, a selective layer transfer process includes forming a layer of integrated circuit (IC) components on a first substrate, forming first bonding structures on a second substrate, and partially bonding the first substrate to the second substrate, which includes bonding a first subset of IC components on the first substrate to respective bonding structures on the second substrate. The process also includes forming second bonding structures on a third substrate, where the second bonding structures are arranged in a layout that is offset from the layout of the second substrate. The process further includes partially bonding the first substrate to the third substrate, which includes bonding a second subset of IC components on the first substrate to respective bonding structures on the third substrate.

    Abstract: A surface finish on an integrated circuit (IC) die structure or a substrate structure to which an IC die structure is to be bonded has a chemical composition distinct from that of underlying metallization. The surface finish may comprise a Cu—Ni alloy. Optionally, the Cu—Ni alloy may further comprise Mn. Alternatively, the surface finish may comprise a noble metal, such as Pd, Pt, or Ru or may comprise self-assembled monolayer (SAM) molecules comprising Si and C. During the bonding process a biphilic surface on the IC die structure or substrate structure may facilitate liquid droplet-based fine alignment of the IC die structure to a host structure. Prior to bonding, the surface finish may be applied upon a top surface of metallization features and may inhibit oxidation of the top surface exposed to the liquid droplet.

    Abstract: A die assembly comprising: a first component layer having conductive through-connections in an insulator, a second component layer comprising a die, and an active device layer (ADL) at an interface between the first component layer and the second component layer. The ADL comprises active elements electrically coupled to the first component layer and the second component layer. The die assembly further comprises a bonding layer electrically coupling the ADL to the second component layer. In some embodiments, the die assembly further comprises another ADL at another interface between the first component layer and a package support opposite to the interface. The first component layer may comprise another die having through-substrate vias (TSVs). The die and the another die may be fabricated using different process nodes.
