Bonded semiconductor package and related methods
Abstract
Implementations of a semiconductor package may include: a first wafer having a first surface and a first set of blade interconnects, the first set of blade interconnects extending from the first surface. The package may include a second wafer having a first surface and a second set of blade interconnects, the second set of blade interconnects extending from the first surface and oriented substantially perpendicularly to a direction of orientation of the first set of blade interconnects. The first set of blade interconnects may be hybrid bonded to the second set of blade interconnects at a plurality of points of intersection between the first and second set of blade interconnects. The plurality of points of intersection may be located along a length of each blade interconnect of the first set of blade interconnects, and along the length of each blade interconnect of the second set of blade interconnects.
