Abstract:
A stack type image sensor may include: a first chip including a via isolation trench penetrating a first substrate, a via isolation layer including an insulation material in the via isolation trench, a first conductive layer on the first substrate, and a first insulation layer; a second chip including a second conductive layer on a second substrate, and a second insulation layer contacting the first insulation layer; a first via trench penetrating the first substrate to expose the second conductive layer with respect to the trench; and a first through via formed in the first via trench, and including a third conductive layer insulated from the first substrate by the via isolation layer, the third conductive layer electrically connecting the first conductive layer to the second conductive layer. The third conductive layer may be formed in the via isolation trench.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a lower device and an upper device disposed on the lower device. The lower device includes a lower substrate, a lower plug pad disposed on the lower substrate, and a lower interlayer dielectric layer on the lower plug pad. The upper device includes an upper substrate, an etch-delay structure in a lower portion of the upper substrate, an upper plug pad disposed on a bottom surface of the upper substrate, an upper interlayer dielectric layer on the upper plug pad, and a via plug configured to penetrate the upper substrate and contact the upper plug pad and the lower plug pad. The via plug includes a first portion in contact with the upper plug pad and the first etch-delay structure, and a second portion in contact with the lower plug pad.
