Abstract

A semiconductor device having a protection layer wrapping around a conductive structure is provided. The semiconductor device comprises an image sensor device layer, an interconnect layer over the image sensor device layer, a first bonding layer over the interconnect layer, a second bonding layer bonded with the first bonding layer, a substrate over the second bonding layer, and a conductive via passing through the substrate, the second bonding layer, and the first bonding layer. The conductive via comprises a protection layer and a conductive material. The protection layer is peripherally enclosed by the substrate, the second bonding layer, and the first bonding layer. The protection layer covers a sidewall cut formed at an interface of the second bonding layer and the first bonding layer. The conductive material is peripherally enclosed by the protection layer.
