Abstract

A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) bond release structure is provided for manufacturing of three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) devices with two or more tiers. The MEMS bond release structure includes a MEMS sacrificial release layer which may have a pillar or post structure, or alternatively, a continuous sacrificial layer for bonding and release.
