Patent ID: 8193646

Claim:
A semiconductor component comprising: a semiconductor substrate having a thickness (TC) between 10-100 μm, the substrate comprising an integrated circuit, a first side, a substrate contact on the first side in electrical communication with the integrated circuit, a second side, and a via extending through the substrate contact from the first side to the second side having an inside diameter (ID); and a through wire interconnect on the semiconductor substrate configured to provide a conductive path from the substrate contact to the second side and a structure for bonding the semiconductor substrate to a second substrate, the through wire interconnect comprising a bonding member on the substrate contact comprising a compressed wire comprising a stud bump wedged in the via, a bonded connection on the substrate contact comprising a flange portion of the bonding member having a diameter (D) greater than the inside diameter (ID) of the via, and a contact on the wire proximate to the second side.
