Abstract: It is possible to reduce resistance variations of a member connecting a through-silicon via to a line and improve wiring reliability. A hole through which the through-silicon via is to be stretched is created and an over-etching process is carried out on a wiring layer including the line. Then, by embedding copper in the hole, the through-silicon via made of the copper can be created. After the through-silicon via has been connected to the line made of aluminum through the member which is a connection area, the connection area is alloyed in a thermal treatment in order to electrically connect the through-silicon via to the line. Thus, it is possible to reduce variations of a resistance between the through-silicon via and the line and also improve wiring reliability as well. The present technology can be applied to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device.
