Abstract

The present disclosure provide an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a through-silicon-via (TSV) trench configured in a semiconductor substrate; a conductive pad formed on the semiconductor substrate, the conductive pad being adjacent the TSV trench; a silicon nitride layer disposed over the conductive pad and in the TSV trench; a titanium layer disposed on the silicon nitride layer; a titanium nitride layer disposed on the titanium layer; and a copper layer disposed on the titanium nitride layer.
