A bond mask is formed over the contact surface of the first metal structure. A second substrate is bonded to the first substrate through the exposed contact surface of the second metal structure. The bond mask remains disposed over the exposed contact surface of the second metal structure during bonding of the second substrate to the first substrate. A wire is bonded to the exposed contact surface of the first metal structure.
