Abstract:
Systems and methods for uniform back side exposure of through-silicon vias (TSVs) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a substrate having a front side with circuit elements formed thereon, and a back side opposite the front side. A TSV extends between the front side and the back side of the substrate, and a dummy feature is disposed over the back side of the substrate, the dummy feature laterally spaced apart from the TSV and substantially coplanar with the TSV. In another embodiment, a semiconductor device comprises a substrate having a TSV formed therethrough, with a control material disposed over the back side of the substrate, the TSV substantially coplanar with the control material.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 9 , further comprising planarizing the back side such that the control material is substantially coplanar with the conductive material of the TSV.
