Which tools build and protect the stack?
Permanent die bonding joins the stack; temporary bonding supports thin wafers during processing. Thermal compression, hybrid bonding and mold underfill are distinct processes. Ask for the wafer format, alignment budget, gap specification, material compatibility and qualification status of the exact configuration.
