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 18):
An interconnect structure comprising:\n a substrate having a flat profile portion and a tapered profile portion; a conductive via extending through the tapered profile portion of the substrate; a liner disposed between the conductive via and the tapered profile portion of the substrate, the tapered profile portion of the substrate being disposed between the liner and the flat profile portion of the substrate; and a dielectric capping layer having a first portion disposed on the flat profile portion of the substrate and a second portion disposed on the tapered profile portion of the substrate, the first portion having a first thickness, the second portion having a second thickness, the second thickness being greater than the first thickness, surfaces of the conductive via, the liner, and the second portion of the dielectric capping layer being level.
