Abstract

A method of forming an integrated circuit device includes providing a substrate including an active device, forming a through silicon via into the substrate, forming a device contact to the active device, forming a conductive layer over the through silicon via and the device contact, and forming a connecting via structure for electrically connecting the conductive layer with the through silicon via. An integrated circuit device includes a through silicon via formed into a substrate silicon material, a conductive layer formed over the through silicon via, and a connecting via structure formed between the conductive layer and the through silicon via for electrically connecting the conductive layer with the through silicon via. The connecting via structure comprises a first series of via bars intersected with a second series of via bars.
