Abstract: Vertically stacked semiconductor devices and methods of fabrication thereof that include a first device structure bonded to a second device structure via bonding layers having compressible metal bonding structures. The compressible metal bonding structures may be fabricated using an electroless deposition (ED) process, and may be less dense with a greater degree of compressibility than equivalent materials deposited by related processes. Accordingly, mating pairs of metal bonding structures may have a degree of compliance that enables effective metal-to-metal contact during a subsequent bonding process. Recrystallization of the metal material during an annealing process may produce shrinkage of the metal material and the formation of void areas between the metal bonds and the surrounding dielectric layers, thereby reducing stress on the surrounding dielectric-to-dielectric interface.
