Abstract

Semiconductor devices having one or more vias filled with a transparent and electrically conductive material are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor die stacked over a second semiconductor die. The first semiconductor die can include at least one via that is axially aligned with a corresponding via of the second semiconductor die. The vias of the first and second semiconductor dies can be filled with a transparent and electrically conductive material that both electrically and optically couples the first and second semiconductor dies.
