Through-circuit vias in interconnect structures
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) with through-circuit vias (TCVs) and methods of forming the same are disclosed. The IC includes a semiconductor device, first and second interconnect structures disposed on first and second surfaces of the semiconductor device, respectively, first and second inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layers disposed on front and back surfaces of the substrate, respectively, and a TCV disposed within the first and second interconnect structures, the first and second ILD layers, and the substrate. The TCV is spaced apart from the semiconductor device by a portion of the substrate and portions of the first and second ILD layers. A first end of the TCV, disposed over the front surface of the substrate, is connected to a conductive line of the first interconnect structure and a second end of the TCV, disposed over the back surface of the substrate, is connected to a conductive line of the second interconnect structure.
