SCHOTT launches low-loss glass to advance semiconductor manufacturing
Friday 30 August 2024, Taipei, Taiwan
- SCHOTT® low-loss glass tackles high-frequency challenges in the semiconductor industry
- Low dielectric constant offers peak performance and sets new standards for advanced packaging materials
- The product will be demonstrated at SEMICON Taiwan at Booth M1054, including a presentation by Asia Business Development Manager for Semicon Glass Solutions Sean Chiu
As the demand for faster data transmission and more efficient high-frequency applications continues to grow, the semiconductor industry faces increasing challenges in signal integrity and energy efficiency. SCHOTT, the international technology group and inventor of specialty glass, has unveiled SCHOTT® low-loss glass to set a new standard for advanced packaging materials.
SCHOTT® low-loss glass stands out with exceptional properties that make it ideal for advanced packaging solutions in 5G/6G communication, high-speed digital circuits, and radiofrequency or microwave systems. With its low dielectric constant of er = 4.0 and minimal dielectric loss of tan d = 0.0021 at 10 GHz, this groundbreaking material ensures peak performance and unmatched efficiency in GHz frequencies.
“Our low-loss glass represents a significant leap forward in material science for high-frequency applications like semiconductors,” says Sean Chiu, New Business Development Manager at SCHOTT. “By dramatically reducing signal loss and improving energy efficiency, we’re enabling manufacturers to push the boundaries of semiconductor performance so they can produce faster, more reliable chips that can handle the demands of next-generation technologies like 6G and AI. We believe SCHOTT® low-loss glass will be a catalyst for innovation, helping our partners create semiconductors that are not only more powerful but also more sustainable.”
SCHOTT® low-loss glass offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to meet the demanding needs of semiconductor manufacturers, including:
- Low dielectric constant for minimal signal delay and highest energy efficiency
- Exceptionally low dielectric loss for enhanced RF antenna and component performance
- Thermal expansion rate optimized for seamless integration with silicon wafers
- Available in a wide range of thicknesses from around 0.1 mm to 1.1 mm and even beyond
- High chemical stability due to low alkaline content, suitable for harsh environments
Attendees of SEMICON Taiwan can experience SCHOTT® low-loss glass firsthand at Booth M1054 in TaiNEX 1. Product demos will be available throughout the event from Sept. 4-6, 2024.
Sean Chiu, Asia Business Development Manager of Semicon Glass Solutions at SCHOTT, will deliver a presentation titled “SCHOTT's Visionary Impact: Pioneering Semiconductor Technologies for Tomorrow’s World” on Sep 5 at 11:00 a.m. in 701GH, 7F, Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2. This presentation will offer insights into SCHOTT’s innovative approach to addressing the evolving needs of the semiconductor industry.
