Abstract:
A method for forming an integrated circuit including the steps of: a) forming openings in a front surface of a first semiconductor wafer, the depth of the openings being smaller than 10 μm, and filling them with a conductive material; b) forming doped areas of components in active areas of the front surface, forming interconnection levels on the front surface and leveling the surface supporting the interconnection levels; c) covering with an insulating layer a front surface of a second semiconductor wafer, and leveling the surface coated with an insulator; d) applying the front surface of the second wafer coated with insulator on the front surface of the first wafer supporting interconnection levels, to obtain a bonding between the two wafers; e) forming vias from the rear surface of the second wafer, to reach the interconnection levels of the first wafer; and f) thinning the first wafer to reach the openings filled with conductive material.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate wafer and having a front face and a back face. A front hole is formed in the front face and a multilayer capacitor is formed in the front hole. A back hole is formed in the back face of the substrate wafer to expose at least a portion of the multilayer capacitor. A front electrical connection on the front face and a back electrical connection in the back hole are used to make electrical connection to first and second conductive plates of the multilayer capacitor which are separated by a dielectric layer. The front hole may have a cylindrical shape or an annular shape.
