Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and an electrode disposed on a major surface of the semiconductor substrate. A via hole is formed on a center of the electrode so as to open from a surface of the electrode to a place under the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A via-hole foundation electrode for inhibiting diffusion from a metal layer is formed inside the via hole and on the surface of the electrode, a via-hole electrode is formed on the surface of the via-hole foundation electrode. A back via hole is formed on the back of the semiconductor substrate opposite to the major surface thereof, and opened from the back of the semiconductor substrate to the via-hole electrode. A back via-hole electrode is formed on the back of the semiconductor substrate including the inside of the back via hole.
