Abstract
An integrated circuit product includes a substrate, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) material positioned above the substrate and a through-substrate-via (TSV) extending continuously through the substrate and the ILD material. The TSV includes a substrate portion of the TSV that is positioned in and extends continuously through the substrate and an ILD portion of the TSV that is positioned in and extends continuously through the ILD. An insulating liner layer is selectively positioned between and separates the substrate portion of the TSV and the substrate, wherein the selectively positioned insulating liner layer does not extend from the substrate to the ILD material.
