Abstract:
The inventive concept provides semiconductor devices having through-vias and methods for fabricating the same. The method may include forming a via-hole opened toward a top surface of a substrate and partially penetrating the substrate, forming a via-insulating layer having a first thickness on a bottom surface of the via-hole and a second thickness smaller than the first thickness on an inner sidewall of the via-hole, forming a through-via in the via-hole which the via-insulating layer is formed in, and recessing a bottom surface of the substrate to expose the through-via. Forming the via-insulating layer may include forming a flowable layer on the substrate, and converting the flowable layer into a first flowable chemical vapor deposition layer having the first thickness on the bottom surface of the via-hole.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device. A preliminary wafer-carrier assembly is formed in such a way that a wafer structure having a plurality of via structures is adhered to a light-penetrating carrier by a photodegradable adhesive. A wafer-carrier assembly having an optical shielding layer for inhibiting or preventing a light penetration is formed such that the wafer structure, the carrier and the adhesive are covered with the optical shielding layer except for the backside of the wafer structure through which the via structures are exposed. An interconnector is formed on the backside of the wafer structure such that the via structures make contact with the interconnector, and the wafer structure and the carrier are separated from each other by irradiating a light to the wafer-carrier assembly. Accordingly, the adhesive is inhibited or prevented from being dissolved during a plasma process on the wafer-carrier assembly.
