    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and methods for holding a first semiconductor device in proper alignment to a second semiconductor device, whose size is different from the first device, while performing a C4 bond between the two devices. The apparatus for holding the two devices in proper alignment consists of a holding fixture, which includes upper and lower pocket receptacles for receiving the semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices are placed into the respective upper and lower slots aligned to two or more edges of the holding fixture.

    Abstract: An interconnection array layout and method are provided for a plurality of paired line conductors of a given length extending principally parallel. A single crossing region traverses the paired line conductors intermediate the given length, wherein the line conductors of each pair of line conductors cross such that inter-pair capacitive coupling is matched. Intra-pair capacitive coupling is avoided by separating the line conductors of each pair of line conductors by two pitches and disposing therebetween a line conductor of a different pair of line conductors. Applications include semiconductor memory arrays, such as DRAM structures, and address/data busses wherein paired true/complement line conductors are employed.

Alternatively, a third silicon oxide layer may be formed on the silicon nitride layer before bonding. A bonded interface is then formed between the first and third silicon oxide layers. A bonded wafer structure formed by such a method is also provided.
