Abstract:
Roughly described, an integrated circuit device has a conductor extending entirely through the substrate, connected on one end to the substrate topside surface and on the other end to the substrate backside surface. In various embodiments the conductor is insulated from all RDL conductors on the backside of the substrate, and/or is insulated from all conductors and device features on any below-adjacent chip in a 3D integrated circuit structure. Methods of fabrication are also described.
