Abstract:
Microelectronic devices and methods for filling vias and forming conductive interconnects in microfeature workpieces and dies are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a microfeature workpiece having a plurality of dies and at least one passage extending through the microfeature workpiece from a first side of the microfeature workpiece to an opposite second side of the microfeature workpiece. The method can further include forming a conductive plug in the passage adjacent to the first side of the microelectronic workpiece, and depositing conductive material in the passage to at least generally fill the passage from the conductive plug to the second side of the microelectronic workpiece.

Claim (Index 26):
A method of forming a conductive interconnect in a microfeature workpiece, the microfeature workpiece having a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a bond-pad formed on the first side, and at least one die, the method comprising:\n forming a passage completely through the bond-pad and the die from the first side of the microfeature workpiece to the second side of the microfeature workpiece; depositing an insulative layer in the passage; depositing a first conductive material in a first portion of the passage adjacent to the first side of the microfeature workpiece to form a conductive plug in contact with the bond-pad, wherein the first conductive material directly contacts the insulative layer between the first side of the microfeature workpiece and the second side of the microfeature workpiece; and after depositing the first conductive material in the first portion of the passage, depositing a second conductive material in a second portion of the passage in contact with the conductive plug to at least generally fill the passage from the conductive plug to the second side of the microfeature workpiece, wherein the second conductive material directly contacts the insulative layer between the first side of the microfeature workpiece and the second side of the microfeature workpiece, and wherein the second conductive material is different than the first conductive material.
