Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor apparatus which may check a state of connection of a penetrating electrode in a semiconductor substrate with ease. A semiconductor apparatus manufacturing method includes: forming in a semiconductor substrate at least three kinds of the through-holes each having a large area, a middle area, and a small area of openings; forming a conductive layer on an inner surface of the at least three kinds of the through-holes having different areas of the openings to form the penetrating electrodes; and measuring resistance values of the penetrating electrode including the through-hole having the large area of the opening and the penetrating electrode including the through-hole having the small area of the opening among the three kinds of the penetrating electrodes to determine states of connection of the penetrating electrodes.
