Abstract: MEMS devices and methods for forming the same are provided. A first metal interconnect structure is formed on a first semiconductor substrate to connect to a CMOS control circuit in the first semiconductor substrate. A bonding layer having a cavity is formed on the first metal interconnect structure, and then bonded with a second semiconductor substrate. A conductive plug passes through a first region of the second semiconductor substrate, through the bonding layer, and on the first metal interconnect structure. A second metal interconnect structure includes a first end formed on the first region of the second semiconductor substrate, and a second end connected to the conductive plug. Through-holes are disposed through a second region of the second semiconductor substrate and through a top portion of the bonded layer that is on the cavity to leave a movable electrode to form the MEMS device.

Abstract: TSV layout structure and TSV interconnect structure, and their fabrication methods are provided. An exemplary TSV interconnect structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a first region and a second region; and a plurality of through-holes disposed in the first region and the second region of the semiconductor substrate. An average through-hole density of the first region is greater than an average through-hole density of the entire semiconductor substrate. The average through-hole density of the entire semiconductor substrate is less than or equal to about 2%. A metal layer having a planarized surface is filled in the plurality of through-holes in the semiconductor substrate.

Abstract: A method for processing a glass substrate is disclosed. A glass substrate including a first surface, a second surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface is provided. An opaque conductive layer is formed on the second surface and a part of the side surface close to the second surface. Thereafter, a semiconductor process is performed on the first surface. Thereafter, the opaque conductive layer on the second surface and the part of the side surface close to the second surface is removed. The problem of transporting a transparent glass substrate by some semiconductor tools is solved without increasing tool cost by enabling the sensing and transportation of glass substrates with optical sensor and/or electrical chuck. The fabrication of devices with a glass substrate is also achieved.
