TGV Glass Substrate Micro-holes Drilled High-performance Ultra-thin Transparent
TGV (Through-Glass Via) Glass is an advanced substrate technology that enables vertical electrical interconnections through micro-holes drilled into glass substrates. This innovation leverages laser drilling, electroplating, and glass strengthening processes to create high-performance, ultra-thin, and transparent solutions for 3D integration.
Key Features
- Material Versatility: Compatible with borosilicate, soda-lime, quartz, and aluminum-silicate glasses.
- High-Density Interconnectivity: Micro-vias with diameters from 5μm to 500μm and aspect ratios exceeding 10:1.
- Electrical Performance: Low signal loss (0.02 dB/cm @ 100 GHz) and high insulation resistance (>1×10¹⁵ Ω·cm).
- Mechanical Robustness: Chemically strengthened glass achieves strengths up to 800 MPa (soda-lime) or 700 MPa (borosilicate).
- Thermal Compatibility: Low thermal expansion coefficients (e.g., 3.2×10⁻⁶/K for borosilicate) for seamless integration with silicon chips.

Key Differences:
Sapphire vs. Glass:
-
Material Class: Sapphire is a crystalline ceramic (not glass), but it is often grouped with glass substrates for high-performance applications due to its exceptional durability.
-
Advantages: Superior scratch resistance, higher thermal conductivity, and IR transmission (80–100% in mid-wave IR).
-
Limitations: Higher cost, lower transparency in visible light (only ~92% vs. ~99% for quartz), and difficulty in laser drilling.
