Abstract

See full text

A method of fabricating through substrate vias is disclosed. In one aspect, vias are etched from the backside of the substrate down to shallow trench isolation (STI) or the pre-metal dielectric stack (PMD). Extra contacts between metal 1 contact pads and the through-wafer vias are fabricated for realizing the contact between the through wafer vias and the back-end-of-line of the semiconductor chips.
