A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor device, a plurality of through semiconductor vias (TSV), a first seal ring, and a second seal ring. The TSVs are in the semiconductor device. Each of the TSVs has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first seal ring is located in proximity to an edge of the semiconductor structure and is physically connected to the first surface of each of the TSVs. The second seal ring is physically connected to the second surface of each of the TSVs.

Semiconductor structure

A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor device, a plurality of through semiconductor vias (TSV), a first seal ring, and a second seal ring. The TSVs penetrate through the semiconductor device. The TSVs are adjacent to an edge of the semiconductor device. The first seal ring is disposed on and physically connected to one end of each of the TSVs. The second seal ring is disposed on and physically connected to another end of each of the TSVs.

A manufacturing method of a semiconductor structure includes at least the following steps. A semiconductor device having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface is provided. A plurality of through semiconductor vias (TSV) embedded in the semiconductor device is formed. A first seal ring is formed over the first surface of the semiconductor device. The first seal ring is adjacent to edges of the first surface and is physically in contact with the TSVs. A second seal ring is formed over the second surface of the semiconductor device. The second seal ring is adjacent to edges of the second surface and is physically in contact with the TSVs.
