Glass Substrate for Semiconductor Packaging - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Glass substrates for semiconductor packaging are an indispensable key material in the semiconductor packaging process. They provide physical support, electrical connection and environmental protection for chips, and occupy an important position in the entire semiconductor industry chain.

From the perspective of characteristics, glass substrates have many advantages. The first is good flatness. Its surface flatness is extremely high, which can ensure the precise fit between the chip and the substrate, ensure the stability of the electrical connection, and reduce interference and loss during signal transmission. At the same time, the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass substrate matches the chip and other packaging materials. Under different temperature environments, it can effectively avoid problems such as separation of the chip and the substrate and cracking of the solder joints caused by excessive thermal expansion differences, and ensure the reliability of the packaging structure. In addition, the glass substrate also has excellent insulation properties, which can effectively isolate the chip from external electrical interference, prevent leakage, and ensure the normal operation of the chip. It is also very chemically stable and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances, protecting the chip from the influence of the external chemical environment.

The manufacturing process of glass substrates is complex and delicate. First of all, in the raw material preparation link, high-purity silica sand, soda ash, limestone and other raw materials are selected, and after precise proportioning and mixing, the chemical composition of the glass substrate is ensured to meet the requirements. Then it enters the melting stage, where the mixed raw materials are heated to 1500℃ - 1600℃ in a high-temperature furnace to completely melt and form a uniform glass liquid. Next is the molding process. Common molding methods include float method and pull-down method. The float method is to float the glass liquid on the surface of molten metal (such as tin liquid), and use gravity and surface tension to evenly spread the glass liquid to form a flat glass ribbon; the pull-down method is to pull the glass liquid vertically down through a special mold, and gradually cool and mold it during the pull-down process. This method can accurately control the thickness and dimensional accuracy of the glass substrate. The molded glass substrate also needs to be annealed to eliminate internal stress and improve the strength and stability of the glass. Finally, post-processing processes such as cutting, grinding, and polishing are carried out to process the glass substrate into a size and surface quality that meets the requirements of semiconductor packaging.

In the field of semiconductor packaging, glass substrates are widely used. In fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), the glass substrate is used as a carrier to realize the rewiring and electrical connection of the chip. By making metal lines and pads on the glass substrate, the chip signal is led out to achieve connection with the external circuit. This packaging method can effectively reduce the package size, improve the integration and performance of the chip, and is widely used in chip packaging for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In the system-level package (SiP), the glass substrate can be used to integrate multiple chips and passive components, and encapsulate chips and components with different functions on the same substrate to achieve system-level functional integration and improve the performance and reliability of electronic products. It is often used in the fields of IoT devices and wearable devices. In addition, in some high-end semiconductor packages, such as ball grid array packages (BGA) and chip-scale packages (CSP), glass substrates also play an important role, providing stable support and electrical connections for chips.

With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the performance requirements for glass substrates are also continuously improving. In the future, glass substrates will develop in the direction of thinner, larger size, higher precision and lower cost. On the one hand, R&D personnel will continue to optimize the manufacturing process, improve the production efficiency and quality stability of glass substrates, and reduce production costs. On the other hand, by developing new glass materials and manufacturing technologies, the glass substrates can be made thinner and larger in size to meet the needs of continuous miniaturization and high performance of semiconductor packaging. At the same time, the precision and reliability of glass substrates will be further improved, providing strong support for the innovative development of semiconductor technology.
