Abstract

Embodiments of bonded semiconductor structures and fabrication methods thereof are disclosed. In an example, a semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor structure, a second semiconductor structure, and a bonding interface between the first semiconductor structure and the second semiconductor structure. The first semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first device layer disposed on the substrate, and a first bonding layer disposed above the first device layer and including a first bonding contact and a first bonding alignment mark. The second semiconductor structure includes a second device layer, and a second bonding layer disposed below the second device layer and including a second bonding contact and a second bonding alignment mark. The first bonding alignment mark is aligned with the second bonding alignment mark at the bonding interface, such that the first bonding contact is aligned with the second bonding contact at the bonding interface.
