  • Publication number: 20040245623
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate with a through hole formed therein, a first insulating film formed inside the through hole, and an electrode formed on an inner side of the first insulating film inside the through hole. The first insulating film at the rear surface side of the semiconductor substrate protrudes beyond the rear surface, and the electrode protrudes on both the active surface side and the rear surface side of the semiconductor substrate. An outer diameter of a protruding portion on the active surface side is larger than an outer diameter of the first insulating film inside the through hole, and a protruding portion on the rear surface side protrudes further beyond the first insulating film to have a side surface thereof exposed. The semiconductor device has improved connectivity and connection strength and, in particular, has excellent resistance to shearing force when used in three-dimensional packaging technology.
