Abstract
The present invention relates to a semiconductor element having a conductive via and a method for making the same and a package having a semiconductor element with a conductive via. The semiconductor element includes a silicon chip and at least one conductive via. The silicon chip includes a silicon substrate and an active circuit layer. The active circuit layer is disposed on a second surface of the silicon substrate, and has at least one metal layer. The conductive via penetrates the silicon substrate, and includes a conductive metal, The conductive metal electrically connects to the metal layer of the active circuit layer, and a surface of the conductive metal is exposed to the outside of a first surface of the silicon substrate. Therefore, a chip is able to be directly stacked on the semiconductor element without forming a passivation layer and a redistribution layer on the first surface of the silicon substrate, and the process is simplified and the manufacturing cost is decreased.
