  • 2. Description of the Related Art
  • As electronic products are directed towards slimness, light weight and compactness, the semiconductor structure using through silicon via (TSV) technology has become a mainstream trend. Referring to FIGS. 1A˜1G, perspectives of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure 900 using through silicon via technology are shown. The manufacturing method includes the following steps. Firstly, referring to FIG. 1A, a silicon wafer 910 having a first surface 910 a and a second surface 910 b is provided. Next, referring to FIG. 1B, an indent 910 c is formed on the first surface 910 a by dry etching. Then, referring to FIG. 1C, an insulating layer 920 made from silicon nitride material for example is formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology to cover the first surface 910 a and the inner wall of the indent 910 c. After that, referring to FIG. 1D, a copper material 940 is electroplated in the indent 910 c. Then, referring to FIG. 1E, a conductive pad 950 is formed on the first surface 910 a and covers the indent 910 c. Afterwards, referring to FIG. 1F, the second surface 910 b is polished until the copper material 940 filled in the indent 910 c is exposed. Lastly, referring to FIG. 1G, another conductive pad 960 is formed on the second surface 910 b and covers the indent 910 c. Thus, a semiconductor structure 900 is formed.
