Abstract
One aspect of the present disclosure pertains to a method. The method includes receiving a first circuit structure having semiconductor devices, an interconnect structure, first feedthrough vias, top metal lines, redistribution vias, and bond pads. The method includes dicing the first circuit structure to form a top die having a top semiconductor device. The method includes forming a stacked integrated circuit (IC) structure by bonding the top die to a second circuit structure, the second circuit structure having second semiconductor devices, a second interconnect structure, second redistribution vias, and second bond pads. The method includes forming IC top metal lines over the first feedthrough vias, forming an IC passivation layer over the IC top metal lines, forming metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structures in the IC passivation layer, and forming IC redistribution vias penetrating through the MIM capacitor structures and the IC passivation layer to land on the IC top metal lines.
