Abstract: Semiconductor devices are described that have a through-substrate via formed therein. In one or more implementations, the semiconductor devices include a semiconductor wafer and an integrated circuit die bonded together with an adhesive material. The semiconductor wafer and the integrated circuit die include one or more integrated circuits formed therein. The integrated circuits are connected to one or more conductive layers deployed over the surfaces of the semiconductor wafer and an integrated circuit die. A via is formed through the semiconductor wafer and the patterned adhesive material so that an electrical interconnection can be formed between the integrated circuits formed in the semiconductor wafer and the integrated circuits formed in the integrated circuit die. The via includes a conductive material that furnishes the electrical interconnection between the semiconductor wafer and the integrated circuit die.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices are described that include a via that extends only partially through the substrate. Through-substrate vias (TSV) furnish electrical interconnectivity to electronic components formed in the substrates. In implementations, the semiconductor devices are fabricated by first bonding a semiconductor wafer to a carrier wafer with an adhesive material. The semiconductor wafer includes an etch stop disposed within the wafer (e.g., between a first surface a second surface of the wafer). One or more vias are formed through the wafer. The vias extend from the second surface to the etch stop.
