Abstrakt: This paper presents challenges encountered in the fabrication of high aspect ratio (AR) via middle, through-silicon vias (TSVs), of 3 \mu \textm top entrant critical dimension and 50 \mu \textm depth. Higher AR TSV integration is explored due to the lower stress and copper pumping influence of TSVs observed in adjacent CMOS devices. The key process improvements demonstrated in this paper include 3 \mu \textm TSV etch, dielectric liner coverage, metal barrier and seed layer coverage, and copper electroplating.
