Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate provided with a through hole that extends therethrough from a first surface to a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, a device layer provided at the first surface of the semiconductor substrate which includes an electrode, an insulating layer that covers the device layer, a first through electrode that extends through the insulating layer, an insulating layer that extends from the second surface of the semiconductor substrate to a bottom surface of the through hole through an inner surface of the through hole of the semiconductor substrate, and in which the portion thereof in contact with the bottom surface has a tapered shape, and a second through electrode electrically connected to the electrode in the device layer that is exposed to the bottom surface of the through hole.
