Packaging Technologies Redefine AI And HPC Scalability Limits At ECTC 2026


The 2026 IEEE Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC) showcased how advanced packaging can redefine the scalability limits of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). Across 20 technical papers, Intel Foundry engineers and collaborators highlighted breakthrough innovations — from Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge-T (EMIB-T) enabling large multi-d... » read more

Through The Glass: Why The Rapid Development Of TGV Demands Rigorous Analysis


The drive for increased performance is enticing some advanced packaging manufacturers to transition from traditional organic substrates to glass core substrates, a switch that comes with numerous benefits. Compared to organic substrates, glass core offers superior mechanical strength, is better suited for large package sizes, provides improved electrical properties, and has the ability to meet ... » read more

Glass Substrates Gain Momentum


As a package substrate, the benefits of glass are substantial. It's extremely flat with lower thermal expansion than organic substrates, which simplifies lithography. And that's just for starters. Warpage, a growing problem for multichip packages, is greatly reduced. Chips can be hybrid bonded to redistribution layer pads on glass. And relative to organic-core substrates, glass provides very... » read more

Comprehensive Process Control Solutions For Through-Glass Vias


At some point in our lives, we have dropped a drinking glass or knocked over a glass-blown knickknack, only to watch it hit the floor and shatter into pieces. We learn from any early age that glass is fragile. But if glass is so fragile, why are manufacturers adopting glass core substrates? Good question. And one that comes with a ready answer. Glass is able to meet the new, denser line-s... » read more
