Abstract

See full text

An improved through-silicon via (TSV) is disclosed. A semiconductor substrate has a a back-end-of-line (BEOL) stack formed thereon. The BEOL stack and semiconductor substrate has a TSV cavity formed thereon. A conformal protective layer is disposed on the interior surface of the TSV cavity, along the BEOL stack and partway into the semiconductor substrate. The conformal protective layer serves to protect the dielectric layers within the BEOL stack during subsequent processing, improving the integrated circuit quality and product yield.
