Abstract
Bridge structures provide a surface on which to form interconnections to components through through-hole vias. The bridge structures at least partially, and preferably fully, span the gap between two wafers, and, more specifically, between a through-hole via in one wafer and a corresponding component on the other wafer. Bridge structure may be formed on the wafer having the through-hole via and/or the wafer having the component.
