Abstract
One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method of forming an integrated circuit structure. The method may include: providing a substrate having a front side and a back side, the substrate including: a deep trench (DT) capacitor within the substrate extending toward the back side of substrate, and a through silicon via (TSV) adjacent to the DT capacitor within the substrate extending toward the back side of the substrate, the TSV including a metal substantially surrounded by a liner layer and an insulating layer substantially surrounding the liner layer; etching the back side of the substrate to expose the TSV on the back side of the substrate; and forming a first dielectric layer covering the exposed TSV on the back side of the substrate and extending away from the front side of the substrate.
