Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor substrate is provided with an annular cavity extending from a front side of the substrate to an opposite rear side. A metallization is applied in the annular cavity, thereby forming a through-substrate via and leaving an opening of the annular cavity at the front side. A solder ball is placed above the opening and a reflow of the solder ball is effected, thereby forming a void of the through-substrate via, the void being covered by the solder ball.
