Abstract: A method for forming a bonded semiconductor structure is disclosed. A first device wafer having a first bonding layer and a first bonding pad exposed from the first bonding layer and a second device wafer having a second bonding layer and a second bonding pad exposed from the second bonding layer are provided. Following, a portion of the first bonding pad is removed until a sidewall of the first bonding layer is exposed, and a portion of the second bonding layer is removed to expose a sidewall of the second bonding pad. The first device wafer and the second device wafer are then bonded to form a dielectric bonding interface between the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer and a conductive bonding interface between the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad. The conductive bonding interface and the dielectric bonding interface comprise a step-height.
