Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a via structure penetrating through a substrate, a top metal layer and an electronic component over the via structure, and a bottom metal layer and another electronic component below the via structure. The via structure includes a through hole penetrating from a first surface to an opposite second surface of a substrate, a filling insulating layer within the through hole, a first conductive layer, which is within the through hole and surrounds the filling insulating layer, wherein a portion of the first conductive layer is below the filling insulating layer and at the bottom of the through hole. The via structure further includes a first insulating layer, which is on the sidewalls of the through hole and surrounds the first conductive layer.
