Abstract

A main blind hole is formed in a front face of a wafer having a rear face. A through capacitor is formed in the main blind hole including a conductive outer electrode, a dielectric intermediate layer, and a filling conductive material forming an inner electrode. Cylindrical portions of the outer electrode, the dielectric intermediate layer and the inner electrode have front ends situated in a plane of the front face of the wafer. A secondary rear hole is formed in the rear face of the wafer to reveal a bottom of the outer electrode. A rear electrical connection is made to contact the bottom of the outer electrode through the secondary rear hole. A through hole via filled with a conductive material is provided adjacent the through capacitor. An electrical connection is made on the rear face between the rear electrical connection and the through hole via.
