Abstract

A parasitic capacitance of a wiring arranged on a back surface side of a semiconductor substrate is reduced. A semiconductor apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate, a back surface side wiring, a through wiring, and a separation region. In the semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor element and a front surface side wiring connected to the semiconductor element are arranged on a front surface side. The back surface side wiring is arranged on a back surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The through wiring is arranged in a through hole formed in the semiconductor substrate to connect the front surface side wiring and the back surface side wiring. The separation region is arranged between the semiconductor substrate and the back surface side wiring.
