IC Substrates

An IC substrate (Integrated Circuit Substrate) is an important component in semiconductor technology and forms the basis for the physical and electrical support of integrated circuits (ICs). The substrate is the base or carrier material and is located inside the IC housing.

The substrates shield the bare IC and at the same time support the connection between the IC and the PCB trace network. The IC substrate, which consists of a network of holes and traces, serves as an electrical connection for one or more components and provides a path for the component to communicate with the rest of the system. It acts as an intermediate product that secures a semiconductor IC chip and installs the internal wiring to connect the chip to the PCB.

“Glass core” and ‘Through-glass vias’ Technologies

Glass forming processes enable production in panel format and various thicknesses, providing an additional method for manufacturing with low electrical loss, especially at high frequencies. The high stiffness and adjustable coefficient of thermal expansion offer advantages in controlling the deformation of glass core substrates and bonded stacks used for numerous carrier applications such as through-glass vias (TGV).

The increasing use of glass solutions in the industry has led to significant advances in downstream processes such as glass handling and metallization of vias/surfaces. The use of tool sets and processes for panel manufacturing enables the desired cost structures to be achieved in the industry.

With almost four decades of experience in glass handling and metallization, we are your reliable partner for the application of handling techniques and the development of suitable equipment to improve the process flow.
