ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor chip production method including the steps of: forming a front side recess in a semiconductor substrate; depositing a metal material in the front side recess to form a front side electrode electrically connected to a functional device formed on the front surface; removing a rear surface portion of the semiconductor substrate to reduce the thickness of the semiconductor substrate to a thickness greater than the depth of the front side recess; forming a rear side recess communicating with the front side recess in the rear surface of the semiconductor substrate after the thickness reducing step; and depositing a metal material in the rear side recess to form a rear side electrode electrically connected to the front side electrode for formation of a through-electrode.
