A process is described for semiconductor device integration at chip level or wafer level, in which vertical connections are formed through a substrate. A metallized feature is formed in the top surface of a substrate, and a handling plate is attached to the substrate. The substrate is then thinned at the bottom surface thereof to expose the bottom of the feature, to form a conducting through-via. The substrate may comprise a chip having a device (e.g. DRAM) fabricated therein. The process therefore permits vertical integration with a second chip (e.g. a PE chip). The plate may be a wafer attached to the substrate using a vertical stud/via interconnection. The substrate and plate may each have devices fabricated therein, so that the process provides vertical wafer-level integration of the devices. |
