Reduced-profile semiconductor device apparatus are achieved by thinning a semiconductive device substrate at a backside surface to expose a through-silicon via pillar, forming a recess to further expose the through-silicon via pillar, and by seating an electrical bump in the recess to contact both the through-silicon via pillar and the recess. In an embodiment, the electrical bump contacts a semiconductor package substrate to form a low-profile semiconductor device apparatus. In an embodiment, the electrical bump contacts a subsequent die to form a low-profile semiconductor device apparatus.
