Abstract:
An interconnect structure for an integrated circuit, such as a three dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC), and a method of forming the same is provided. An example interconnect structure includes a substrate, a through via extending through the substrate, and a liner disposed between the substrate and the through via. The substrate includes a tapered profile portion. The tapered profile portion abuts the liner.

Claim (Index 9):
An interconnect structure comprising:\n a substrate having a tapered profile portion, the tapered profile portion extending a first height above a major surface of the substrate; a conductive via protruding from the substrate; a liner interposed between the conductive via and the tapered profile portion of the substrate, a surface of the liner being level with a surface of the conductive via, the surfaces of the liner and the conductive via being disposed a second height above the major surface of the substrate, the second height being greater than the first height; and a redistribution layer on the surfaces of the liner and the conductive via, wherein a first width extending from the liner to the outermost extent of the tapered profile portion of the substrate is less than a second width extending from the liner to the outermost extent of the redistribution layer.
