Abstract:
To provide a technique capable of positioning of a semiconductor chip and a mounting substrate with high precision by improving visibility of an alignment mark. In a semiconductor chip constituting an LCD driver, a mark is formed in an alignment mark formation region over a semiconductor substrate. The mark is formed in the same layer as that of an uppermost layer wiring (third layer wiring) in an integrated circuit formation region. Then, in the lower layer of the mark and a background region surrounding the mark, patterns are formed. At this time, the pattern P1a is formed in the same layer as that of a second layer wiring and the pattern P1b is formed in the same layer as that of a first layer wiring. Further, the pattern P2 is formed in the same layer as that of a gate electrode, and the pattern P3 is formed in the same layer as that of an element isolation region.

Abstract:
An apparatus comprising a substrate with multiple electronic devices. An interconnect structure formed on a first side of the substrate interconnects the electronic devices. Dummy TSVs each extend through the substrate and form an alignment mark on a second side of the substrate. Functional TSVs each extend through the substrate and electrically connect to the electronic devices. A redistribution layer (RDL) formed on the second side of the substrate interconnects ones of the dummy TSVs with ones of the functional TSVs. Step heights of the RDL over the functional TSVs are less than a predetermined value, whereas step heights of the RDL over the dummy TSVs are greater than the predetermined value.
