Abstract
Methods of forming semiconductor devices comprising integrated circuits and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices operatively coupled with the integrated circuits involve the formation of an electrically conductive via extending at least partially through a substrate from a first major surface of the substrate toward an opposing second major surface of the substrate, and the fabrication of at least a portion of an integrated circuit on the first major surface of the substrate. A MEMS device is provided on the second major surface of the substrate, and the MEMS device is operatively coupled with the integrated circuit using the at least one electrically conductive via. Structures and devices are fabricated using such methods.
