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.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate on which integrated circuit units are formed, main solder bumps that are electrically connected to the integrated circuit units on the substrate and dummy solder bumps that are not electrically connected to the integrated circuit units on the substrate. The dummy solder bumps are narrower than wiring patterns immediately below the dummy solder bumps.
