Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards an apparatus comprising a semiconductor substrate. A conductive pillar is disposed in the semiconductor substrate. An isolation region is disposed in the semiconductor substrate and extends laterally around the conductive pillar. The isolation region is configured to electrically isolate the conductive pillar from a surrounding portion of the semiconductor substrate. An opening is disposed in the isolation region. A dielectric anchor is disposed in the isolation region. The dielectric anchor extends vertically through the semiconductor substrate along a side of the opening. The dielectric anchor anchors the conductive pillar to the semiconductor substrate.
