A semiconductor device and a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes an interlayer insulation layer pattern, a metal wire pattern exposed by a passage formed by a via hole formed in the interlayer insulation layer pattern to input and output an electrical signal, and a plated layer pattern directly contacting the metal wire pattern and filling the via hole. The method includes forming an interlayer insulation layer having a metal wire pattern to input and output an electrical signal formed therein, forming a via hole to define a passage that extends through the interlayer insulation layer until at least a part of the metal wire pattern is exposed, and forming a plated layer pattern to fill the via hole and to directly contact the metal wire pattern by using the metal wire pattern exposed through the via hole as a seed metal layer.

Methods of forming an integrated circuit device include forming an interlayer dielectric layer on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate and then forming an interconnect hole that extends through the interlayer dielectric layer and into the semiconductor substrate. A first sidewall spacer layer is formed on a sidewall of the interconnect hole. The semiconductor substrate at a bottom of the interconnect hole is isotropically etched to define an undercut recess in the semiconductor substrate. This etching step is performed using the first sidewall spacer layer as an etching mask. The interconnect hole and the uncut recess are then filled with a through-via electrode. A second surface of the semiconductor substrate is removed for a sufficient duration to expose the uncut recess containing the through-via electrode.
