SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING THROUGH ELECTRODE AND METHOD OF FABRICATING THE SAME

摘要

A semiconductor device having a through electrode and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first insulating layer formed on a semiconductor substrate. A wiring layer having a first aperture to expose a portion of the first insulating layer is formed on the first insulating layer. A second insulating layer is formed on an upper portion of the wiring layer and in the first aperture. A conductive pad having a second aperture to expose a portion of the second insulating layer is formed on the second insulating layer. A through hole with a width narrower than widths of the first and second apertures is formed through the first and second insulating layers and an upper portion of the semiconductor substrate. A through electrode is formed in the through hole.
