Abstract:
Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, a semiconductor device includes a first integrated circuit die, a second integrated circuit die coupled to the first integrated circuit die, and a through-via coupled between a first conductive feature of the first integrated circuit die and second conductive feature of the second integrated circuit die. A conductive shield is disposed around a portion of the through-via.

Claim (Index 14):
A device comprising:\n a first semiconductor device, the first semiconductor device comprising a first substrate, a first conductive feature disposed below the first substrate, a first insulating material layer disposed below the first conductive feature, and a conductive shield coupled to the first substrate, wherein the conductive shield is coupled to ground; a second semiconductor device coupled to the first semiconductor device, the second semiconductor device comprising a second substrate, a second conductive feature disposed over the second substrate, and a second insulating material layer disposed over the second conductive feature, the second insulating material layer being coupled to the first insulating material layer; a liner in the first semiconductor device, the liner physically contacting sidewalls of the conductive shield; and a through via extending through the first semiconductor device and at least a portion of the second semiconductor device, the liner separating the through via from the conductive shield.
