Abstract:
An interconnect apparatus and a method of forming the interconnect apparatus is provided. Two integrated circuits are bonded together. A first opening is formed through one of the substrates. A multi-layer dielectric film is formed along sidewalls of the first opening. One or more etch processes form one or more spacer-shaped structures along sidewalls of the first opening. A second opening is formed extending from the first opening to pads in the integrated circuits. A dielectric liner is formed, and the opening is filled with a conductive material to form a conductive plug.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the conductive element comprises a conductive plug and a barrier layer interposed between the conductive plug and the plurality of first dielectric layers.
