Abstract:
In a method of fabricating a semiconductor device, a first sacrificial through-via is formed to fill a first via-hole extending from a first surface of a first substrate toward a second surface of the first substrate opposite the first surface. The first surface of the first substrate is bonded to a carrier. The first sacrificial through-via is exposed, and the first sacrificial through-via is selectively removed. After selectively removing the first sacrificial through-via, a conductive through-via is formed to fill the first via-hole.
