The integrated circuit device disclosed herein includes a substrate, an interlevel dielectric layer disposed over the substrate, an intermetal dielectric layer disposed over the interlevel dielectric layer, an interconnect structure extending through the intermetal dielectric layer, and a through via (TV) extending through the intermetal dielectric layer and at least a portion of the substrate, the through via having a top surface co-planar with a top surface of the interconnect structure. In some embodiments, the through via is formed before the interconnect structure. In other embodiments, the interconnect structure is formed before the through via. In an embodiment, a fin field effect transistor (FinFET) is formed over the substrate.
