Abstract:
A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposing the first surface, and sidewalls defining a recess that passes through the semiconductor substrate. A first interconnect layer is within a first dielectric structure disposed along the second surface, and a bonding pad is in the recess and extends to the first interconnect layer. A dielectric filling layer is also within the recess. The dielectric filling layer has an opening over a portion of the bonding pad and a curved upper surface over the bonding pad. A nickel layer is over the bonding pad and in the opening.

Claim (Index 12):
The structure of  claim 10 ,\n wherein the nickel layer continually extends from between the first surface and the second surface to past the first surface and past the second surface; and wherein the nickel layer has a top surface that is recessed below the top surface of the insulating layer.
