Abstract
Methods and devices that include the use of venting elements for enhancing bonded substrate yields and regulating temperature. Venting elements are generally fabricated proximal to functionalized regions in substrate surfaces to prevent bond voids that form during bonding processes from affecting the functionalized regions. Venting elements generally include venting channels or networks of channels and/or venting cavities.
