Abstract

A method of making a semiconductor device includes manufacturing an ESD cell over a substrate, wherein the ESD cell includes multiple diodes connected in parallel to each other. The method includes manufacturing a conductive pillar electrically connected to the ESD cell of the semiconductor device; manufacturing a through-silicon via (TSV) extending through the substrate, wherein the TSV extends through the substrate within a TSV zone having a TSV zone perimeter, and wherein a first end of the TSV is at a same side of the substrate as the ESD cell, and a second end of the TSV is at a different side of the substrate from the ESD cell. The method includes manufacturing an antenna extending parallel to the TSV at a same side of the substrate as the ESD cell; and manufacturing an antenna pad electrically connected to the TSV, the antenna, and the conductive pillar.
