Semiconductor chip having tsv (through silicon via) and stacked assembly including the chips

Abstract

A semiconductor chip having through silicon vias (TSV) and a stacked assembly including the chip are revealed. The chip has a plurality of first and second bonding pads disposed on two opposing surfaces of a semiconductor substrate respectively. Through hole vertically penetrate through the semiconductor substrate and the first and second bonding pads. By forming first extruded ring, the first bonding pad has a first contact surface located between the first extruded ring and the through hole. By forming second extruded ring, the second bonding pad has a second contact surface located outside and adjacent to the second extruded rings to encircle the second extruded ring. The second extruded ring has a proper dimension to fit in the first extruded ring. Accordingly, a plurality of semiconductor chip can be stacked each other with accurate alignment without shifting to effectively reduce the stacked assembly height, moreover, chip stacking processes are accomplished by vertically stacking a plurality of chips first then filling conductive material into the through holes without electrical short between the adjacent bonding pads due to overflow of conductive material to meet the fine-pitch requirements of TSV. The process flow for the stacked assembly is simplified with higher production yields.
