Inter-component material in microelectronic assemblies having direct bonding

A microelectronic assembly, comprising:

• an interposer having a first face and an opposing second face;
• a first microelectronic component, having a first surface and an opposing second surface, coupled at the first surface to the second face of the interposer by a first direct bonding region;
• a second microelectronic component, having a first surface and an opposing second surface, coupled at the first surface to the second face of the interposer by a second direct bonding region;
• a liner material on the second surface of the interposer and around the first and second microelectronic components;
• an inorganic fill material on the liner material and between the first and second microelectronic components;
• and
• a third microelectronic component coupled to the second surfaces of the first and second microelectronic components.
