Through glass via (TGV)
Outline
3-dimensional wafer-level-packaging (WLP) is the most suitable for miniaturizing semiconductor devices. It also can improve the high-frequency properties of the devices with the metal via.

Features
Through glass via makes it possible to minimize devices
Anodic bonding with a silicon wafer is available
Non-adhesive process can solve the out-gas issue
Excellent high-frequency properties, ideal for RF application
- Low stray capacitance compared with TSV
- Low inductance
- Low electric-resistance (due to metal rods)
Suitable for WL-CSP MEMS packaging
Fine via pitch tolerance
- Consecutive pitch <±20μm/φ200 mm wafer
- Consecutive Via pitch <±20μm
Available up to φ200mm wafers
