By combining the separate structures, a low resistance electrical connection with high heat dissipation capability is created. In addition, the substrate with through silicon plugs (or vias, or trenches) also allows multiple chips to be packaged together. A through silicon trench can surround the one or more chips to provide protection against copper diffusing to neighboring devices during manufacturing. In addition, multiple chips with similar or different functions can be integrated on the TSV substrate.
