1. A structure, comprising:
a conductive material;
a dielectric material formed over the conductive material;
a non-corrosive conductive material in at least one opening of the dielectric material and in direct electrical contact with
the conductive material;
a crackstop structure formed over the dielectric material;
at least a first wiring layer on a first side of the crackstop structure and in electrical contact with the non-corrosive
conductive material in a first opening of the dielectric material above the conductive material; and
at least a second wiring layer on a second side of the crackstop structure and in electrical contact with the non-corrosive
conductive material in a second opening of the dielectric material above the conductive material, wherein the conductive material
is a copper through-silicon via (TSV) structure.
