Abstract

A semiconductor wafer comprising: a tubular trench formed at a position to form a through-hole electrode of a wafer; an insulating member buried inside the trench and on an upper surface of the trench; a gate electrode film and a metal film formed on an upper surface of the insulating member; a multilevel columnar wiring via formed on an upper surface of the metal film; and an external connection electrode formed electrically connected to the metal film via the multilevel columnar wiring via. In this manner, it is unnecessary to have a new process of dry etching to form a through-hole electrode after thinning the wafer and equipment development. Moreover, introduction of a specific design enables formation of through-hole electrodes with significantly reduced difficulties of respective processes.
