Abstract
According to an embodiment, a semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes a through-hole, a copper layer, and a metal portion. The through-hole penetrates a semiconductor substrate between front and rear sides. The copper layer is formed inside the through-hole. The metal portion is made of a metal other than copper, formed closer to a hole core side of the through-hole than the copper layer is, and involves a void therein.
