Abstract:
Methods and apparatus entailing an interconnect structure comprising interconnect features disposed in dielectric material over a substrate. Each interconnect feature comprises an interconnect member and a via extending between the interconnect member and a conductive member formed within the dielectric material. A through-silicon-via (TSV) structure is formed laterally offset from the interconnect structure by forming a first portion of the TSV structure with a first conductive material and forming a second portion of the TSV structure with a second conductive material. Forming the second portion of the TSV structure occurs substantially simultaneously with forming one of the interconnect features.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor structure comprising:\n an interconnect structure comprising a plurality of interconnect features disposed in a dielectric material over a substrate, wherein a first interconnect feature of the plurality of interconnect features comprises a conductive line and a conductive via; and a through-silicon-via (TSV) structure laterally offset from the interconnect structure, the TSV structure comprising:\n a first conductive layer extending into the substrate; \n a second conductive layer over the first conductive layer; and \n a first barrier layer extending between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, wherein an interface between the conductive line and the conductive via is substantially level with an interface between the first conductive layer and the first barrier layer.
