Method for making through-hole conductors for semiconductor substrates
First Claim
1. A method for electrically coupling a first side of a semiconductor substrate to a second side of said semiconductor substrate, comprising:
- forming a hole having an inner surface from a first side of a semiconductor substrate to a second side of said semiconductor substrate;
forming an insulating layer from said first side to said second side of said semiconductor substrate on said inner surface in said hole; and
plating over said insulating layer on said inner surface of said semiconductor substrate to form a plated conductive element by forcing a plating solution from said first side of said semiconductor substrate and exiting said plating solution from said second side of said semiconductor substrate through said hole.

Abstract
A method, structure and system for forming a through-hole conductor in a semiconductor substrate includes forming a hole having an inner surface from a first side of the semiconductor substrate to a second side of the semiconductor substrate and plating the inner surface of the semiconductor substrate to form a conductive element when a plating solution is forced from the first side of the semiconductor substrate to the second side of the semiconductor substrate through the hole. The hole is plated in a generally planar plating topology from the first side to the second side of the semiconductor substrate. The through-hole conductor may be formed in a plating system where the semiconductor substrate forms at least a partial partition between a higher pressure bath and a lower pressure bath with the plating solution passing through the hole causing plating within the inner surface of the hole.
