Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes an interconnection structure over a semiconductor substrate and a conductive pillar over the interconnection structure. The conductive pillar has a protruding portion extending towards the semiconductor substrate from a lower surface of the conductive pillar. The semiconductor device structure also includes an upper conductive via between the conductive pillar and the interconnection structure and a lower conductive via between the upper conductive via and the interconnection structure. The lower conductive via is electrically connected to the conductive pillar through the upper conductive via. The conductive pillar extends across opposite sidewalls of the upper conductive via and opposite sidewalls of the lower conductive via. A top view of an entirety of the second conductive via is separated from a top view of an entirety of the protruding portion.
