TSV without zero alignment marks
Semiconductor device and method of forming a semiconductor device are disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate. A dielectric layer is formed on the substrate. The dielectric layer includes an upper and lower level. The upper level of the dielectric layer is patterned to form at least first and second trench openings and alignment mark openings. One of the first and second trench openings serve as a through via (TV) trench while another trench opening serves as an interconnect trench. A TV opening aligned to the TV trench is formed. The TV opening extends partially into the substrate. A conductive layer is formed over the substrate to fill the trenches and the openings.
