Abstract: A multi-layer semiconductor device includes at least a first semiconductor structure and a second semiconductor structure, each having first and second opposing surfaces. The second semiconductor structure includes a first section and a second section, the second section including a device layer and an insulating layer. The second semiconductor structure also includes one or more conductive structures and one or more interconnect pads. Select ones of the interconnect pads are electrically coupled to select ones of the conductive structures. The multi-layer semiconductor device additionally includes one or more interconnect structures disposed between and coupled to select portions of second surfaces of each of the first and second semiconductor structures. A corresponding method for fabricating a multi-layer semiconductor device is also provided.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes at least two substrate layers, each of the at least two substrate layers having first and second opposing surfaces and a plurality of electrical connections extending between the first and second surfaces.
