Abstract

See full text

A through via (144) contains a conductor (244, 276) passing through a substrate (140) for connection to an integrated circuit element. The through via consists of two segments (144.1, 144.2) formed from respective different sides (140.1, 140.2) of the substrate and meeting inside the substrate. Each segment is shorter than the entire via, so via formation is facilitated. The second segment is etched after deposition of an etch stop layer (214) into the first segment. Due to the etch stop layer, the first segment's depth does not have to be rigidly controlled. The conductor is formed by separate depositions of conductive material into the via from each side of the substrate. From each side, the conductor is deposited to a shallower depth than the via depth, so the deposition is facilitated. Other embodiments are also provided.
