Abstract

A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, a semiconductor substrate having an active surface and a back surface is provided. The active surface is opposite to the back surface, and the semiconductor substrate includes at least one grounding pad disposed on the active surface. Secondly, at least one through silicon via is formed through the semiconductor substrate from the back surface to the active surface thus exposing the grounding pad. Then, a conductive layer is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate and filled into the through silicon via to electrically connect to the grounding pad and the semiconductor substrate.
