AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In three-dimensional stacked semiconductor devices, the damage caused by plasma charging through through-holes reduces the reliability and manufacturing yield of semiconductor devices.

Method used

By introducing a through-via with a floating potential (floating via) into the through-via, dielectric breakdown is intentionally induced to protect the through-via connected to the circuit from dielectric breakdown. The reliability of the through-via is improved by utilizing the non-uniformity of plasma charging and the electron shielding effect.

Benefits of technology

Without increasing the base chip area, dielectric breakdown and short-circuit faults through vias are effectively suppressed, improving the reliability and manufacturing yield of semiconductor devices.
