WOP’s journey with TGV began in 2017, and over the years, we have accumulated fundamental knowledge through extensive experimentation.
As a result of this long-term expertise in glass micromachining, WOP is now able to offer the highest quality vias in the market today, featuring a 100% yield and repeatability.
While both multi-shot and single-shot methods can be employed, each has its advantages.
Multi-shot methods provide better control and facilitate the creation of high aspect ratio TGVs, while single-shot methods are significantly faster but may face limitations in other specifications.

While silicon has traditionally been used, glass is emerging as a promising alternative due to several key advantages:
Selective laser etching | SLE
The most used method for glass core substrate processing while creating TGVs is laser fabrication, combined with a wet etch process. Once the TGVs are fabricated, they are filled with copper to provide electrical connections between the front and back of the glass panel substrate.
Regardless of the glass fabrication process is known, there are still many challenges to address, such as the hole size, roundness, X/Y location, sidewall profile, defective vias, fabrication speed, and other factors that are critical to package performance and cost. The level of expertise and knowledge in glass micromachining is crucial in overcoming these challenges.
