Advanced packaging
Silicon TSVs
TSVs enable electrical interconnections through several hundred microns.
Bosch offers silicon TSVs. Their advantage is the very low parasitic capacitance and a stress-optimized design enabled by the Bosch airgap technology. These features make them suitable for advanced MEMS applications.

Silicon TSV capabilities:
- Low resistance: < 50 Ohm
- low parasitic capacitance: < 50fF
- pitch 120-150µm
- through up to 300 µm of silicon thickness
- flat MEMS Wafer for standard testability, handling & packaging
- aluminum top metallization and redistribution layer (RDL) possible
- oxide and nitride passivation layers possible
Metal TSVs
Metal TSVs are available with low resistance and low parasitic capacitance, limited so far to 50 µm depth:
