A Study on the Thermomechanical Reliability Risks of Through-Silicon-Vias in Sensor Applications

Reliability risks for two different types of through-silicon-vias (TSVs) are discussed in this paper. The first is a partially-filled copper TSV, if which the copper layer covers the side walls and bottom. A polymer is used to fill the rest of the cavity. Stresses in risk sites are studied and ranke...
