Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a back side drawn electrode formed by embedding a first conductive material in a contact hole penetrating the semiconductor substrate through an insulating film formed to include a uniform thickness, used also as an alignment mark, and configured to draw out an electrode to the back side of the semiconductor substrate. The device further includes a pad provided on the back side of the semiconductor substrate, and connected to the back side drawn electrode.
