Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022133756A1] A method of forming a through-substrate-via in a wafer assembly with a bottom and a top wafer. Each of the bottom wafer and the top wafer comprises a backside and a frontside. The backside comprises a substrate, and the frontside comprises a plurality of layers and a top layer. The frontside of the bottom wafer comprises one or more metal pads and are bonded to the substrate of the top wafer through a dielectric bonding layer. The method comprises forming an opening from the frontside of the top wafer to the dielectric bonding layer. The method further comprises cladding the opening with an electrically non-conductive material, extending the opening and filling the extended opening with a metal, the metal of the opening being different from the metal of a landing pad. The method avoids the Cu resputtering and diffusion of the resputtered Cu into the substrate of the top wafer.
