ABSTRACT:
A method includes steps of providing first and second substrates, and forming a bonding interface between them using a conductive bonding region. A portion of the second substrate is removed to form a mesa structure. A vertically oriented semiconductor device is formed with the mesa structure. A portion of the conductive bonding region is removed to form a contact. The vertically oriented semiconductor device is carried by the contact.
