Abstract
A method comprises providing a first substrate having dielectric structures and conductive structures. Ions are implanted into the first substrate, the ions traveling through the dielectric structures and the conductive structures to define a cleave plane in the first substrate. The first substrate is cleaved at the cleave plane to obtain a cleaved layer having the dielectric structure and the conductive structures. The cleaved layer is used to form a three-dimensional integrated circuit device having a plurality of stacked integrated circuit (IC) layers, the cleaved layer being one of the stacked IC layers.
