A bump structure that may be used for stacked die configurations is provided. Through-silicon vias are formed in a semiconductor substrate. A backside of the semiconductor substrate is thinned to expose the through-silicon vias. An isolation film is formed over the backside of the semiconductor substrate and the exposed portion of the through-silicon vias. The isolation film is thinned to re-expose the through-silicon vias. Bump pads and redistribution lines are formed on the backside of the semiconductor substrate providing an electrical connection to the through-silicon vias. Another isolation film is deposited and patterned, and a barrier layer is formed to provide contact pads for connecting to an external device, e.g., another die/wafer or circuit board.
