Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes bonding a first semiconductor wafer including a first substrate and a first insulating layer formed to contact one surface of the first substrate, and a second semiconductor wafer including a second substrate and a second insulating layer, forming a third insulating layer, performing etching so that the second insulating layer remains on a second wiring layer, forming a first connection hole, forming an insulating film on the first connection hole, performing etching of the second insulating layer and the insulating film, forming a second connection hole, and forming a first via formed in inner portions of the connection holes and connected to the second wiring layer, wherein a diameter of the first connection hole formed on the other surface of the first substrate is greater than a diameter of the first connection hole formed on the third insulating layer.

laminating a first semiconductor wafer including a first substrate and a first insulating layer which is formed so as to come into contact with one surface of the first substrate, and a second semiconductor wafer including a second substrate and a second insulating layer which is formed so as to come into contact with one surface of the second substrate and bonding the first semiconductor wafer and the second semiconductor wafer to each other;

forming a third insulating layer on the other surface of a side opposite to the one surface of the first substrate; penetrating the third insulating layer, the first substrate, and the first insulating layer, performing etching so as that the second insulating layer remains on a second wiring layer which is formed in the second insulating layer, and forming a first connection hole;

forming an insulating film on the first connection hole;

performing etching of the second insulating layer on the second wiring layer and the insulating film, forming a second connection hole, and exposing the second wiring layer; and

forming a first via which is formed in inner portions of the first and the second connection holes and is connected to the second wiring layer,

wherein a diameter of the first connection hole which is formed on the other surface of the first substrate is greater than a diameter of the first connection hole which is formed on the third insulating layer.

2. The method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

performing etching of the third insulating layer, the first substrate, and the first insulating layer so that the first insulating layer remains on a first wiring layer formed in the first insulating layer, and forming a third connection hole;

forming the insulating film on the third connection hole; performing etching of the first insulating layer on the first wiring layer and the insulating film, forming a fourth connection hole, and exposing the first wiring layer; and forming a second via which is formed in inner portions of the third and the fourth connection holes and is connected to the first wiring layer,

wherein a diameter of the third connection hole which is formed on the other surface of the first substrate is greater than a diameter of the third connection hole which is formed on the third insulating layer, and

a film thickness of the first insulating layer which remains on the first wiring layer is thinner than a film thickness of the second insulating layer which remains on the second wiring layer.
