Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device manufacturing method provides filling a through-hole which penetrates through a first side of substrate to a second side thereof. A seed film including copper is formed on the inner wall surface of the through-hole. A first metal layer including copper is grown bottom-up from one end of the through-hole toward the other end thereof, to partially fill the through-hole, leaving a space having a depth less than the radius of the through-hole as measured from the second side surface of the substrate. A second metal layer including nickel is conformally grown in the space from the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole to a height having a summit surface protruding from the second side surface of the substrate. A third metal layer is formed on the summit surface of the second metal layer.
