THROUGH SUBSTRATE VIA (TSV) VALIDATION STRUCTURE FOR AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND METHOD TO FORM THE TSV VALIDATION STRUCTURE
An integrated circuit comprises a substrate that includes a first surface and a second surface. A first through substrate via (TSV) is formed between the first surface and the second surface and a first conductive material is arranged within the first TSV to form a conductive path between the first surface and the second surface through the substrate. A second TSV is formed between the first surface and the second surface and a second conductive material arranged within the second TSV to form a conductive path between the first surface and the second surface through the substrate. In examples the first TSV has a larger cross-sectional area than the second TSV, the cross-section of the first TSV and second TSV being in a plane parallel to the first surface or the second surface.
