Abstract:
Microelectronic devices and methods for filling vias and forming conductive interconnects in microfeature workpieces and dies are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a microfeature workpiece having a plurality of dies and at least one passage extending through the microfeature workpiece from a first side of the microfeature workpiece to an opposite second side of the microfeature workpiece. The method can further include forming a conductive plug in the passage adjacent to the first side of the microelectronic workpiece, and depositing conductive material in the passage to at least generally fill the passage from the conductive plug to the second side of the microelectronic workpiece.

Claim (Index 32):
A method of forming a microelectronic device set having a first microelectronic device and a second microelectronic device, the first microelectronic device having a first die with a first integrated circuit and a first bond-pad electrically coupled to the first integrated circuit, the second microelectronic device having a second die with a second integrated circuit and a second bond-pad electrically coupled to the second integrated circuit, the method comprising:\n forming a passage completely through the first die and the first bond-pad; depositing a first conductive material in a first portion of the passage to form a conductive plug electrically connected to the bond pad, the conductive plug in direct contact with an inner wall of the passage and having a boundary in the passage; after depositing the first conductive material, depositing a second conductive material in a second portion of the passage in direct contact with the inner wall of the passage and the boundary of the conductive plug to at least generally fill the passage; and electrically coupling the conductive interconnect to the second bond-pad of the second microelectronic device.
