Patent ID: 8889548

Claim:
A method of forming a system on chip, the method comprising: forming a through substrate opening from a back surface of a substrate, the through substrate opening disposed between a first and a second region of the substrate, the first region comprising devices for RF circuitry proximate a top surface opposite the back surface and the second region comprising devices for other circuitry proximate the top surface opposite the back surface; forming patterns for redistribution lines within a photo resist layer disposed at the back surface; and forming a redistribution layer comprising first and second redistribution lines and forming a through substrate conductor by filling the through substrate opening and the patterns for redistribution lines with a conductive material, wherein the first redistribution lines are formed under the first region and isolated from the substrate by an insulating layer, wherein the second redistribution lines are formed under the second region and coupled to active circuitry, wherein the first redistribution lines are coupled to a ground potential node by the through substrate conductor.
