Abstract

A method and article to provide a three-dimensional (3-D) IC wafer process flow. In some embodiments, the method and article include bonding a device layer of a multilayer wafer to a device layer of another multilayer wafer to form a bonded pair of device layers, each of the multilayer wafers including a layer of silicon on a layer of porous silicon (SiOPSi) on a silicon substrate where the device layer is formed in the silicon layer, separating the bonded pair of device layers from one of the silicon substrates by splitting one of the porous silicon layers, and separating the bonded pair of device layers from the remaining silicon substrate by splitting the other one of the porous silicon layers to provide a vertically stacked wafer.
