1. A chip package comprising:
an element comprising a first silicon substrate, a first through silicon via vertically in the first silicon substrate, wherein the first through silicon via comprises a first copper layer vertically in the first silicon substrate and a first adhesion metal layer at a sidewall of the first copper layer, a first silicon-oxide-containing layer over the first silicon substrate, and a first bonding pad in a first opening in the first silicon-oxide-containing layer and coupling to the through silicon via, wherein the first bonding pad comprises a second copper layer in the first opening in the first silicon-oxide-containing layer and a second adhesion metal layer having a first portion at a sidewall of the second copper layer and a second portion at a bottom of the second copper layer;
a first semiconductor chip over and bonded to the element, wherein the first semiconductor chip comprises a second silicon substrate, a transistor at a bottom of the second silicon substrate, a first interconnection metal layer under the second silicon substrate, a second silicon-oxide-containing layer under the second silicon substrate and first interconnection metal layer and a second bonding pad under and on the first interconnection metal layer and in a second opening in the second silicon-oxide-containing layer, wherein the first interconnection metal layer comprises a third copper layer and a third adhesion metal layer having a first portion at a sidewall of the third copper layer and a second portion at a top of the third copper layer, and wherein the second bonding pad comprises a fourth copper layer in the second opening in the second silicon-oxide-containing layer and a fourth adhesion metal layer having a first portion at a sidewall of the fourth copper layer and a second portion at a top of the fourth copper layer, between the fourth copper layer and first interconnection metal layer and in contact with the first interconnection metal layer, wherein the fourth copper layer has a bottom surface bonded to and in contact with a top surface of the second copper layer and the second silicon-oxide-containing layer has a bottom surface bonded to and in contact with a top surface of the first silicon-oxide-containing layer, wherein the element couples to the first semiconductor chip through the first and second bonding pads; and
a sealing layer over the element and at a same horizontal level as the first semiconductor chip.
