Abstract
A device and methods for forming a device are disclosed. A substrate is provided and a TSV is formed in the substrate through a top surface of the substrate. The TSV and top surface of the substrate is lined with an insulation stack having a first insulation layer, a polish stop layer and a second insulation layer. A conductive layer is formed on the substrate. The TSV is filled with conductive material of the conductive layer. The substrate is planarized to remove excess conductive material of the conductive layer. The planarizing stops on the polish stop layer to form a planar top surface.
