Abstract
A bonded assembly of a first semiconductor die and a second semiconductor die includes first and second semiconductor dies. The first semiconductor die includes first semiconductor devices, first metal interconnect structures embedded in first dielectric material layers, and first metal bonding pads laterally surrounded by a semiconductor material layer. The second semiconductor die includes second semiconductor devices, second metal interconnect structures embedded in second dielectric material layers, and second metal bonding pads that include primary metal bonding pads and auxiliary metal bonding pads. The auxiliary metal bonding pads are bonded to the semiconductor material layer through metal-semiconductor compound portions formed by reaction of surface portions of the semiconductor material layer and an auxiliary metal bonding pad. The primary metal bonding pads are bonded to the first metal bonding pads by metal-to-metal bonding.
