PROTECTIVE SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENTS FOR BONDED STRUCTURES

Abstract: a bonded structure with protective semiconductor elements including a semiconductor element with active circuitry and a protective element including an obstructive layer and/or a protective circuitry layer. the obstructive layer is configured to inhibit external access to at least a portion of the active circuitry. the protective circuitry layer is configured to detect or disrupt external access to the protective element and/or the active circuitry of the semiconductor element. the semiconductor element and the protective element are directly bonded without an adhesive along a bonding interface.
