  • Patent number: 7432582
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a microelectronics device is provided, wherein the microelectronics device is formed on a substrate having a frontside and a backside. The method comprises forming a circuit element on the frontside of the substrate from a plurality of layers deposited on the frontside of the substrate, wherein the plurality of layers includes an intermediate electrical contact layer, and forming an interconnect structure after forming the electrical contact layer. The interconnect structure includes a contact pad formed on the backside of the substrate, and a through-substrate interconnect in electrical communication with the contact pad, wherein the through-substrate interconnect extends from the backside of the substrate to the electrical contact layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6716737
    Abstract: A method of forming a through-substrate interconnect for a circuit element in a microelectronics device is provided. The device is formed on a substrate having a frontside and a backside, and includes a circuit element formed on the frontside of the substrate connected to a contact pad formed on the backside of the substrate by the through-substrate interconnect. The method includes forming a first interconnect structure extending into the substrate from the frontside of the substrate, at least partially forming the circuit element such that the circuit element is in electrical communication with the first interconnect structure, and forming a second interconnect structure extending into the substrate from the backside of the substrate after forming the first interconnect structure such that the second interconnect structure is in electrical communication with the first interconnect structure.
