Method of forming through silicon via with dummy structure

摘要

A method of forming a through silicon via (TSV) structure includes forming an interconnect pad over a substrate. An under layer is formed over the interconnect pad. A vertical conductive post is formed at least partially through the substrate. At least one dummy structure is formed at least partially through the under layer. A top pad is formed over the dummy structure and the vertical conductive post. The top pad covers a wider area than a cross section of the vertical conductive post. The interconnect pad is electrically connected to the top pad. The dummy structure connects the top pad and the under layer thereby fastening the top pad and the interconnect pad.
