Abstract:
Provided are a semiconductor device and a semiconductor package. The semiconductor device includes semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a first side and a second side. A front-side structure including an internal circuit is disposed on the first side of the semiconductor substrate. A passivation layer is disposed on the second side of the semiconductor substrate. A through-via structure passes through the semiconductor substrate and the passivation layer. A back-side conductive pattern is disposed on the second side of the semiconductor substrate. The back-side conductive pattern is electrically connected to the through-via structure. An alignment recessed area is disposed in the passivation layer. An insulating alignment pattern is disposed in the alignment recessed area.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device can include a substrate that has a surface. A via structure can extend through the substrate toward the surface of the substrate, where the via structure includes an upper surface. A pad structure can be on the surface of the substrate, where the pad structure can include a lower surface having at least one protrusion that is configured to protrude toward the upper surface of the via structure.
Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a TSV (Through Silicon Via) extending through a substrate, a first well in the substrate adjacent a first surface of the substrate, a gate of an active device on the first well, a charging protection well, and a charging protection gate on the charging protection well. The charging protection well is disposed in the substrate adjacent the first surface of the substrate, is interposed between the TSV hole and the first well, and surrounds the TSV hole. The charging protection gate prevents the gate of the active device from being damaged when the TSV is formed especially when using a plasma etch process to form a TSV hole in the substrate.
