Abstract

Embodiments of bonded semiconductor structures and fabrication methods thereof are disclosed. In an example, a method for forming a semiconductor device is disclosed. A first device layer is formed on a first substrate. A first bonding layer including a first bonding contact and a first bonding alignment mark is formed above the first device layer. A second device layer is formed on a second substrate. A second bonding layer including a second bonding contact and a second bonding alignment mark is formed above the second device layer. The first bonding alignment mark is aligned with the second bonding alignment mark, such that the first bonding contact is aligned with the second bonding contact. The first substrate and the second substrate are bonded in a face-to-face manner, so that the first bonding contact is in contact with the second bonding contact at a bonding interface, and the first bonding alignment mark is in contact with the second bonding alignment mark at the bonding interface.
