Patent ID: 8513113

Claim:
A method of forming a construction, comprising: providing a semiconductor die having a front side with circuitry associated therewith, having a back side in opposing relation to the front side, having an electrically conductive material pad, and having an outer periphery; forming at least one via extending through the die from the front side toward the back side and at least partially through a base semiconductor material of the die; forming a liner of insulative material lining the via where the insulative material does not extend over the electrically conductive material pad; forming an electrically insulative material within the via and also around at least a portion of the outer periphery; and forming a conductive liner within the via over the liner of insulative material and extending over the electrically conductive material pad prior to forming the electrically insulative material within the via, the conductive liner narrowing the via and the electrically insulative material filling the narrowed via.
