Abstract

A microelectronic device and method for manufacture. In one embodiment, two microelectronic substrates are directly bonded to each other without an intermediate adhesive material. For example, each microelectronic substrate can include a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a functional microelectronic feature coupled to a connection terminal of the microelectronic substrate. The connection terminals can be coupled to a support member, such as a leadframe or a printed circuit board, with the bond plane between the microelectronic substrates either aligned with or transverse to the support member. The microelectronic substrates can be enclosed in a protective packaging material that can include a transparent window to allow selected radiation to strike one or the other of the microelectronic substrates.
