Semiconductor device includes a pair of substrates (1, 2) disposed
oppositely, semiconductor elements (5, 6) formed in the substrates (1,
2), respectively, and having semiconductor circuits (3, 4) and electrodes
(7, 8), respectively, a wiring conductor (9) interposed between the
electrodes (7, 8), and a through electrode (12) extending through
one substrate (1) and connected to the electrode (7) via the wiring
conductor (9). The other substrate (2) is disposed laterally of the
through electrode (12). Surface of the through electrode (12) projecting
from the one substrate (1) and lateral surface of the element (6)
are coated with an insulation material (13). The through electrode (12)
has one end exposed in a back surface of the one substrate (1), while other
end is positioned flush with a back surface of the other substrate (2),
being exposed.
