Abstract

Representative techniques and devices including process steps may be employed to mitigate the potential for delamination of bonded microelectronic substrates due to metal expansion at a bonding interface. For example, a through-silicon via (TSV) may be disposed through at least one of the microelectronic substrates. The TSV is exposed at the bonding interface of the substrate and functions as a contact surface for direct bonding.
