Abstract: Bonded wafer device structures, such as a wafer-on-wafer (WoW) structures, and methods of fabricating bonded wafer device structures, including an array of contact pads formed in an interconnect level of at least one wafer of the bonded wafer device structure. The array of contact pads formed in an interconnect level of at least one wafer may have an array pattern that corresponds to an array pattern of contact pads that is subsequently formed over a surface of the bonded wafer structure. The array of contact pads formed in an interconnect level of at least one wafer of the bonded wafer device structure may enable improved testing of individual wafers, including circuit probe testing, prior to the wafer being stacked and bonded to one or more additional wafers to form a bonded wafer structure.
