1. A semiconductor structure, comprising:
a first chip comprising:
a first semiconductor substrate;
a first multi-level interconnect structure over the first semiconductor substrate, the first multi-level interconnect structure comprising a conductive line;
a first redistribution layer (RDL) over the conductive line of the first multi-level interconnect structure;
a compact layer over the first RDL and the first multi-level interconnect structure, wherein the compact layer has a portion within the first multi-level interconnect structure;
a cap layer over the compact layer; and
a metal pad on the first RDL; and
a second chip bonded to the first chip, the second chip comprising:
a second semiconductor substrate;
a second multi-level interconnect structure over the second semiconductor substrate; and
a conductive structure extending from the second multi-level interconnect structure to the metal pad.
