Precision TGV Fabrication for Glass-Core Substrates and Co-Packaged Optics
Custom Through-Glass Via (TGV) microfabrication on glass substrates up to 510mm panels with 20µm min diameter, void-free Cu fill, and post-processing for photonic and semiconductor interposers.
Problem solved
High-density, low-loss vertical interconnects in glass interposers for integrating optics close to ASICs in CPO, addressing bandwidth, power, and thermal density in AI servers.
Application contexts
- co-packaged optics
- glass core substrates
- 2.5D/3D packaging for AI accelerators
Technical principle
Laser or chemical formation of high-aspect-ratio vias in glass (borosilicate, fused silica, etc.), followed by Ti/Cu seed and electroplated Cu fill or conformal coating, with CMP planarization and RDL.
Typical use cases
- CPO optical engine integration
- glass interposer for high-bandwidth AI chips
