Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor substrate including an upper surface, a lower surface, and a through hole that extends through the semiconductor substrate between the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein the lower surface is an active surface on which a semiconductor integrated circuit is formed; a first insulating layer formed from an organic insulting resin, covering the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, and including an opening at a location corresponding to the through hole, wherein the opening of the first insulting layer has a diameter that is the same as a diameter of the through hole; an insulating film formed from an inorganic insulating film and covering an inner wall of the through hole, an inner wall of the opening of the first insulating layer, and the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate; a through electrode formed in the through hole and the opening that are covered by the insulating film, wherein the through electrode has a lower end surface that is flush with a lower surface of the insulating film at a side of the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate; a wiring pattern formed on the lower end surface of the through electrode at the side of the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate; a second insulating layer covering the wiring pattern; and a first connecting terminal integrally formed with the through electrode and defined by an upper end portion of the through electrode that is exposed and protrudes from an upper surface of the first insulating layer, wherein the upper end portion of the through electrode is spread on the upper surface of the first insulating layer so that the first connecting terminal includes an upper end surface that has a larger size than the diameter of the through hole as viewed from above to be in contact with the upper surface of the first insulating layer, the upper end surface of the first connecting terminal is a roughened surface that has a greater roughness than the lower end surface of the through electrode, and the semiconductor device further comprises a metal layer covering the first connecting terminal.
