Abstract

Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) structures can include a conductive via through a substrate extending from an upper surface of the substrate to a backside surface of the substrate opposite the upper surface, a conductive protective layer including Ni and/or Co can be at a bottom of the conductive via, and a separate polymer insulating layer can be on the backside surface of the substrate in contact with the conductive protective layer.
