Abstract
Bonded structures and methods of direct hybrid bonding are disclosed. Non-conductive regions of two elements, such as dies or wafers, are first bonded together to form a bonded structure. Aligned conductive regions of the bonded structure, such as metal pads or traces, are then annealed to expand and bridge a gap between them. The anneal includes rapid thermal processing (RTP), such as with radiant heating. The bond interface between the first and second conductive features includes rapid growth structure(s) indicative of the inclusion of RTP in the anneal. Additional non-RTP anneal phases can also be employed.
