Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a metal member, and a metal oxide film. The semiconductor substrate is provided with a through-hole that passes through the semiconductor substrate from one surface to another surface opposite to the one surface. The metal member is provided in the through-hole, and includes a cavity therein defined by an internal surface. The metal oxide film coats the internal surface.

Claims (27)

1. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a semiconductor substrate including a through-hole extending through the semiconductor substrate from a first surface to a second surface opposite the first surface;

a metal member having a cavity therein defined by an internal surface of the metal member, the metal member being disposed in the through-hole;

a metal oxide film coating the internal surface of the metal member; and

a metal layer located in an opening of the through-hole formed in the second surface of the substrate, wherein

the metal member protrudes from the opening of the through-hole beyond the metal layer.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the metal oxide film comprises an oxide of a metal material that is included in the metal member.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a connection portion containing tin or copper is located on a portion of the metal member that protrudes from the opening of the through-hole beyond the metal layer.

4. A semiconductor device, comprising;

a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to the first surface;

a device layer at the first surface of the substrate;

a wiring layer overlying the device layer;

a via hole extending through the substrate between the first and second surfaces thereof, the device layer being at least partially exposed to an interior of the via hole; and

a metal plug in the via hole and extending therethrough, the metal plug comprising:

a metal body material,

a cavity in the metal body material, the cavity having an internal surface, and

a metal oxide film on the internal surface of the cavity between the metal body material and the cavity, wherein

the metal plug protrudes from the via hole beyond the second surface of the semiconductor substrate.

5. The semiconductor device of claim 4 , wherein the cavity is completely surrounded by the metal body material.

6. The semiconductor device of claim 4 , wherein the metal oxide film comprises an oxide of a metal in the metal body material.

7. The semiconductor device of claim 4 , wherein the metal plug is electrically connected to the device layer.

8. The semiconductor device according to claim 4 , further comprising:

an electrode extending outwardly of the first surface.

9. The semiconductor device according to claim 8 , wherein

the wiring layer is between the device layer and the electrode, and

the electrode is electrically connected to the wiring layer.

10. The semiconductor device according to claim 9 , wherein the metal plug directly contacts a conductive portion of the device layer.
