Abstract

See full text

Various implementations of through silicon vias with pinched off regions are disclosed. A semiconductor substrate includes a plurality of the through silicon vias disposed in the substrate and extending from a top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the substrate. A conductive filler is disposed within each of the plurality of through silicon vias, each of the plurality of through silicon vias having a hollow center which reduces thermal stress in the semiconductor substrate. The plurality of through silicon vias also have pinched off regions at the bottom and/or the top portions of the through silicon vias, which prevent contamination during processing of the semiconductor substrate.
