Abstract:
A method of electrically connecting electronic semiconductor components comprising the steps of:providing a first semiconductor substrate comprising a plurality of layers, at least one of said layers comprising a first electronic semiconductor component, said first semiconductor substrate having at least one conductive column formed thereon, said column electrically connected to said first electronic semiconductor component;providing a second semiconductor substrate comprising a third electrically insulating layer over a layer comprising a second electronic semiconductor component; a second electrically conductive layer over said third insulating layer; and a fourth electrically insulating layer over said second conductive layer, said fourth insulating layer having at least one via formed therein, said via adapted to receive said column and provide an electrical connection to said second electronic semiconductor component;inserting said column into said via to join said first semiconductor substrate to said second semiconductor substrate; andelectrically connecting said first electronic semiconductor component to said second electronic semiconductor component.
