Abstract:
A semiconductor chip including through silicon vias (TSVs), wherein the TSVs may be prevented from bending and the method of fabricating the semiconductor chip may be simplified, and a method of fabricating the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip includes a silicon substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a plurality of TSVs which penetrate the silicon substrate and protrude above the second surface of the silicon substrate; a polymer pattern layer which is formed on the second surface of the silicon substrate, surrounds side surfaces of the protruding portion of each of the TSVs, and comprises a flat first portion and a second portion protruding above the first portion; and a plated pad which is formed on the polymer pattern layer and covers a portion of each of the TSVs exposed from the polymer pattern layer.

A semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor substrate including a bump region and a non-bump region, a bump on the bump region, and a passivation layer on the bump region and the non-bump region of the semiconductor substrate. No bump is on the non-bump region. A thickness of the passivation layer in the bump region is thicker than a thickness of the passivation layer in the non-bump region. The passivation layer includes a step between the bump region and the non-bump region.
