Patent ID: 8896136

Claim:
A structure comprising: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposing surfaces on the substrate, a first area and a second area being on the second surface; a conductive connector on the first surface of the substrate, the conductive connector capable of coupling the substrate to an external component; a through substrate via (TSV) in the substrate and being exposed through the first area of the second surface of the substrate; an isolation layer on the second area of the second surface of the substrate, the isolation layer having a recess, the recess being defined by isolation sidewalls and an isolation bottom surface adjoining the isolation sidewalls, no conductive feature extending through any of the isolation sidewalls and the isolation bottom surface; and a conductive material in the recess of the isolation layer, the isolation layer being disposed between the conductive material in the recess and the substrate, the conductive material being on the isolation sidewalls and the isolation bottom surface and on a surface of the isolation layer outside of the recess, distal from the substrate and the isolation bottom surface, and parallel to the second surface of the substrate.
