A semiconductor structure and methods of forming the semiconductor structure generally includes providing a thermocompression bonded superconducting metal layer sandwiched between a first silicon substrate and a second silicon substrate. The second substrate includes a plurality of through silicon vias to the thermocompression bonded superconducting metal layer. A second superconducting metal is electroplated into the through silicon vias using the thermocompression bonded superconducting metal layer as a bottom electrode during the electroplating process, wherein the filling is from the bottom upwards.
