ABSTRACT:
Methods for making and testing a semiconductor device with through substrate vias are described. In some examples, a method of making a semiconductor device includes: forming through substrate vias (TSVs) in a substrate having an integrated circuit (IC) die, the substrate including an active side and a backside, the active side having conductive interconnect formed thereon, the TSVs including exposed portions on the backside of the substrate; patterning first metal on the active side of the substrate to electrically couple the TSVs to a portion of the conductive interconnect; and coupling the exposed portions of the TSVs on the backside of the substrate to electrically couple together the plurality of TSVs.
