Laterally unconfined structure

Techniques are employed to mitigate the anchoring effects of cavity sidewall adhesion on an embedded conductive interconnect structure, and to allow a lower annealing temperature to be used to join opposing conductive interconnect structures. A vertical gap may be disposed between the conductive material of an embedded interconnect structure and the sidewall of the cavity to laterally unpin the conductive structure and allow uniaxial expansion of the conductive material. Additionally or alternatively, one or more vertical gaps may be disposed within the bonding layer, near the embedded interconnect structure to laterally unpin the conductive structure and allow uniaxial expansion of the conductive material.
