High-Rigidity Glass Substrate for Through-Glass Via (TGV) Processes
We supply precision-engineered round optical glass substrates for board-level packaging using TGV (Through-Glass Via) technology. These thick glass wafers are optimized for high-density interconnects in advanced microelectronic and photonic packaging systems, offering excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, and dimensional control. Available in standard and custom diameters, our substrates support direct via etching, metallization, and wafer-level assembly processes.
