Abstract

A semiconductor device includes a substrate provided with an integrated circuit and a contact, an interlayer dielectric layer covering the integrated circuit and the contact, a through electrode penetrating the substrate and the interlayer dielectric layer, a first intermetal dielectric layer on the interlayer dielectric layer, and first and second wiring patterns in the first intermetal dielectric layer. The first wiring pattern includes a first conductive pattern on the through electrode, and a first via penetrating the first intermetal dielectric layer and connecting the first conductive pattern to the through electrode. The second wiring pattern includes a second conductive pattern on the contact, and a second via penetrating the first intermetal dielectric layer and connecting the second conductive pattern to the contact. A first width in a first direction of the first via is greater than a second width in the first direction of the second via.
