Abstract

A semiconductor device that allows an image sensor (in an upper area of a SiP semiconductor device) to exchange signals with a device in a lower area of a SiP semiconductor device. A semiconductor device includes at least one of: A semiconductor substrate having a photodiode area and a transistor area. A PMD (Pre Metal Dielectric) layer formed on and/or over the semiconductor substrate. At least one metal layers formed on and/or over the PMD layer. A first penetrating electrode penetrating the PMD layer and the at least one metal layers. A second penetrating electrode penetrating the semiconductor substrate and connected to the first penetrating electrode.
