Abstract: A bonding structure that may be used to form 3D-IC devices is formed using first oblong bonding pads on a first substrate and second oblong bonding pads one a second substrate. The first and second oblong bonding pads are laid crosswise, and the bond is formed. Viewed in a first cross-section, the first bonding pad is wider than the second bonding pad. Viewed in a second cross-section at a right angle to the first, the second bonding pad is wider than the first bonding pad. Making the bonding pads oblong and angling them relative to one another reduces variations in bonding area due to shifts in alignment between the first substrate and the second substrate. The oblong shape in a suitable orientation may also be used to reduce capacitive coupling between one of the bonding pads and nearby wires.

Abstract: A transmission device includes a daisy chain structure composed of at least three daisy chain units arranged periodically and continuously. Each of the daisy chain units includes first, second and third conductive lines, and first and second conductive pillars. The first and second conductive lines at a first layer extend along a first direction and are discontinuously arranged.

A first part of the first conductive pillar is connected to the first and third conductive lines. The second conductive pillar extends in the second direction. A first part of the second conductive pillar is connected to the second and third conductive lines.
