Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and a first trench extending into or through the semiconductor substrate from a first side. The first trench is at least partially filled with a conductive material and electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate via a doped semiconductor layer at a sidewall of the first trench. A semiconductor layer adjoins the semiconductor substrate at the first side, and caps the first trench at the first side. A contact is disposed at a second side of the semiconductor substrate opposite to the first side. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device is also provided.
