Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor chip including a first substrate, a plurality of first dielectric layers and a plurality of conductive lines formed in the first dielectric layers over the first substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a second semiconductor chip having a surface bonded to a first surface of the first semiconductor chip, the second semiconductor chip including a second substrate, a plurality of second dielectric layers and a plurality of second conductive lines formed in the second dielectric layers over the second substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a first conductive feature extending from the first semiconductor chip to one of the plurality of second conductive lines, and a first seal ring structure extending from the first semiconductor chip to the second semiconductor chip.
