Abstract:
A through-substrate vias structure includes a substrate having opposing first and second major surfaces. One or more conductive via structures are disposed extending from the first major surface to a first vertical distance within the substrate. A recessed region extends from the second major surface to a second vertical distance within the substrate and adjoining a lower surface of the conductive via. In one embodiment, the second vertical distance is greater than the first vertical distance. A conductive region is disposed within the recessed region and is configured to be in electrical and/or thermal communication with the conductive via.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein:\n providing the conductive via structure comprises providing the first distance less than about 50 microns; forming the recessed region comprises providing the second distance more than twice the first distance; and providing the conductive via structure comprises providing the conductive material comprising tungsten; forming the first conductive region comprises forming the first conductive region further disposed along at least a portion of the second major surface; forming the first conductive region comprises forming the first conductive region physically affixed to the conductive material; and the method further comprises forming a conductive bump conductively attached to the first conductive region at a location outside of the recessed region, wherein the conductive bump is laterally spaced apart from the conductive via structure.
