A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate; an upper surface electrode formed on an upper surface side of the semiconductor substrate; an insulating film formed on the upper surface side of the semiconductor substrate; and a lower surface electrode formed on a lower surface side of the semiconductor substrate and having a larger area than that of the upper surface electrode, wherein the upper surface electrode and the lower surface electrode are electrodes having a compressive stress.

In one example, an electronic device comprises a base substrate comprising a base substrate conductive structure, a first electronic component over a first side of the base substrate, an encapsulant over the first side of the base substrate, wherein the encapsulant contacts a lateral side of the electronic component, an interposer substrate over a first side of the encapsulant and comprising an interposer substrate conductive structure, and a vertical interconnect in the encapsulant and coupled with the base substrate conductive structure and the interposer substrate conductive structure. A first one of the base substrate or the interposer substrate comprises a redistribution layer (RDL) substrate, and a second one of the base substrate or the interposer substrate comprises a laminate substrate. Other examples and related methods are also disclosed herein.

A semiconductor component, for example an integrated circuit chip, including a semiconductor substrate having active devices at the front side thereof and I/O terminals at the back side of the component, is provided. In one aspect, the terminals are connected to the active devices through TSV connections and buried rails in an area of the substrate that is separate from the area in which the active devices are located. The I/O TSV connections are located in a floating well of the substrate that is separated from the rest of the substrate by a second well formed of material of the opposite conductivity type compared to the material of the floating well. The second well includes at least one contact configured to be coupled to a voltage that is suitable for reverse-biasing the junction between the floating well and the second well. A small capacitance is placed in series with the large parasitic capacitance generated by a thin dielectric liner that isolates the I/O TSVs and I/O rails from the substrate, thereby mitigating the negative effect of the large parasitic capacitance. Additional contacts and conductors can be provided which are configured to create an ESD protection circuit for protecting the I/O TSVs and the I/O rails from electrostatic discharges.

A semiconductor package includes a substrate having at least one recessed portion, a semiconductor device located on a surface of the substrate, the surface having the at least one recessed portion, and a resin insulating layer covering the semiconductor device.
