Abstract:
A semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate having oppositely facing first and second surfaces, the first surface being an active surface and provided with an electronic element thereon, a pad electrode to be connected to the electronic element in a peripheral portion of the electronic element on the active surface, a first opening extending from the second surface toward the pad electrode so as not to reach the first surface of the semiconductor substrate, a second opening formed to reach the pad electrode from a bottom surface of the first opening and having a diameter smaller than that of the first opening, an insulating layer formed to cover sidewall surfaces of the first opening and the second opening, and a conductive layer formed, inside of the insulating layer, to cover at least an inner wall surface of the insulating layer and a bottom surface of the second opening.

Claim (Index 1):
A device comprising:\n a semiconductor substrate including an image sensor on a first surface of the semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate including an opening at a peripheral region of the semiconductor substrate, the peripheral region being outside the image sensor; a pad electrode disposed on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate and electrically connected with the image sensor; a conductor disposed in the opening formed at the peripheral region of the semiconductor substrate and electrically connected to the pad electrode; and an insulating layer disposed in the opening and between the conductor and the semiconductor substrate, wherein,\n the opening includes a first portion and a second portion, an end of the second portion being defined by an end of the first portion, \n the second portion is closer to the pad electrode than the first portion, and \n a largest diameter of the second portion is smaller than a smallest diameter of the first portion.
