    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for reducing in-plane distortion from wafer to wafer bonding using a dummy wafer. One embodiment is an apparatus formed using a dummy wafer, the apparatus comprising: a device layer fusion bonded to a first side of a carrier wafer, wherein the dummy wafer comprises a first wafer and the carrier wafer comprises a second wafer that is different than the first wafer; wherein the device layer comprise a portion of a third wafer that is different than the second wafer; and wherein a second opposite side of the carrier wafer includes: a removal process artifact, wherein a distortion signature present in the portion of the second wafer is indicative of the use of the dummy wafer fusion bonded to the second side of the carrier wafer, or a remainder of the dummy wafer. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
