Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to semiconductor structures and, more particularly, to electrical and optical via connections on a same chip and methods of manufacture. The structure includes an optical through substrate via (TSV) comprising an optical material filling the TSV. The structure further includes an electrical TSV which includes a liner of the optical material and a conductive material filling remaining portions of the electrical TSV.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n forming an optical through substrate via (TSV) in a substrate comprising:\n forming an annular via around a core portion comprised of a portion of the substrate, wherein the annular via has a via width \u201cd 1 \u201d between an inner wall of the annular via adjacent to the core portion and an outer wall of the annular via spaced apart from the core portion, and wherein a circumferential dimension of the core portion is \u201cd 2 \u201d; and \n filling an optical material in the annular via; and \n forming an electrical TSV in the substrate comprising: \n forming a via in the substrate, spaced apart from the annular via; \n forming a liner of the optical material on sidewalls of the via; and \n forming an electrically conductive material in remaining portions of the via, \n wherein the electrical TSV has a diameter of \u201cD 1 \u201d, where D 1 >d 1 .
