在人工智慧、高效能运算和下一代通讯领域对先进封装解决方案的强劲需求驱动下,全球半导体玻璃基板市场正迎来关键转折点,该技术正从研发阶段过渡到商业化生产阶段。玻璃基板市场克服了有机基板的根本局限性,同时在成本和可扩展性方面优于硅中介层。

玻璃基板正在取代先进晶片封装中的有机基板,提供卓越的尺寸稳定性、低介电损耗和可扩展性,这对于多晶片架构至关重要。该技术使製造商能够实现亚微米级的重分布层几何结构,从而支援海量I/O,并在极端温度范围(-40°C至150°C)内保持优异的热性能和电气性能。主要优点包括讯号完整性效能提升 40%,功耗降低 50%,以及优异的平整度(100mm 封装的翘曲小于 20 微米),而有机基板在 55mm 以上尺寸时会出现尺寸不稳定。

玻璃通孔 (TGV) 技术是一项关键技术,目前有多种製造方法正在竞争,包括雷射诱导深蚀刻 (LIDE)、雷射改质与湿蚀刻相结合的技术、直接雷射烧蚀以及光敏玻璃製程。最近的示范使用了直径 6 微米、纵横比超过 15:1 的通孔,实现了高密度垂直互连,支援面板级加工,这是显示器行业的传统工艺。

市场按应用领域高度细分。对于人工智慧 (AI) 和高效能运算 (HPC) 领域,玻璃基板能够实现 60-80mm 封装,整合 HBM 记忆体堆迭和 8-16 个晶片组,而翘曲的有机基板无法实现这种架构。 需要 51.2 至 102.4 Tbps 总频宽的资料中心交换器正扩大采用共封装光元件 (CPO) 架构,利用玻璃的透明性将光波导与电互连整合在一起。

电信基础设施,特别是工作频率在 100 至 300 GHz 之间的 5G 大规模 MIMO 和新兴的 6G 系统,是另一个有机基板电损耗不足以满足需求的关键领域。汽车应用,特别是用于 ADAS 和自动驾驶平台的 77-81 GHz 雷达,受益于玻璃的相位稳定性,即使在极端温度下也能保持光束相干性。消费性电子产品的应用主要集中在高阶领域,例如 5G 毫米波智慧型手机、AR/VR 头戴装置和游戏系统,在这些领域,效能差异在早期商业化阶段就足以支撑溢价。包括苹果、特斯拉、AMD 和亚马逊 AWS 在内的主要科技公司正在进行认证测试。三星电子计画在 2028 年前采用玻璃基板中介层,目前已在其世宗工厂启动并运行了一条试点生产线。

英特尔从自主生产转向授权其庞大的专利组合(超过 600 项玻璃基板专利)的策略转变,可能会使后来者更快地取得进展,并加速整个产业的商业化进程。三星马达计划在 2025 年第二季製造出其首个原型产品,而 LG Innotek 正在龟尾建造一条试点生产线,目标是在年底前生产原型产品。包括 AGC、康宁、肖特和日本电气硝子在内的玻璃材料供应商,提供针对热膨胀係数匹配和低介电损耗优化的基板级材料。

儘管玻璃基板具有诸多优势,但其应用推广仍面临巨大的障碍。目前的成本是有机基板的两到三倍,製造良率仅为 75-85%,而有机基板的良率则高达 90-95%,供应链集中度高导致对单一供应商的依赖。玻璃基板的脆性要求采用专门的自动化处理工艺,TGV 成型和细间距 RDL 製程也需要持续最佳化。 18 至 36 个月的客户认证週期会延缓市场准入,尤其是在汽车和通讯等较保守的行业。

本报告分析了全球半导体玻璃基板市场,提供了市场规模和预测、投资前景和应用场景、挑战和机遇,以及价值链上各公司的概况。

The global market for glass substrates in semiconductor applications is experiencing a critical inflection point as the technology transitions from research and development to commercial production, driven by insatiable demand for advanced packaging solutions in AI, high-performance computing, and next-generation communications. The glass substrate market addresses fundamental limitations of organic substrates while offering cost and scalability advantages over silicon interposers.

Glass substrates replace organic cores in advanced chip packages, providing superior dimensional stability, lower dielectric loss, and larger format capabilities essential for multi-chiplet architectures. The technology enables manufacturers to achieve sub-2micrometer redistribution layer geometries, supporting massive I/O counts (10,000-50,000 per package) while maintaining thermal and electrical performance across extreme temperature ranges (-40degree-C to 150degree-C). Key advantages include 40% performance improvements in signal integrity, 50% power consumption reduction, and exceptional flatness (<20micrometer warpage across 100mm packages) compared to organic alternatives that suffer dimensional instability beyond 55mm.

Through-glass via (TGV) technology represents the critical enabler, with multiple formation approaches competing: laser-induced deep etching (LIDE) combining laser modification with wet etching, direct laser ablation, and photosensitive glass methods. Recent demonstrations show 6micrometer diameter vias with aspect ratios exceeding 15:1, enabling high-density vertical interconnection supporting panel-scale processing from display industry heritage.

The market exhibits sophisticated segmentation across application domains. AI and high-performance computing represent the largest near-term opportunity, with glass substrates enabling 60-80mm packages integrating 8-16 chiplets with HBM memory stacks-architectures impossible with warped organic substrates. Data center switches requiring 51.2-102.4 Tbps aggregate bandwidth increasingly adopt co-packaged optics (CPO) architectures that leverage glass transparency for integrated optical waveguides alongside electrical interconnection.

Telecommunications infrastructure, particularly 5G massive MIMO and emerging 6G systems operating at 100-300 GHz frequencies, represents another compelling segment where organic substrates' electrical losses render them inadequate. Automotive applications, especially 77-81 GHz radar for ADAS and autonomous driving platforms, benefit from glass's phase stability maintaining beam coherence across temperature extremes. Consumer electronics adoption concentrates in premium segments-5G millimeter-wave smartphones, AR/VR headsets, and gaming systems-where performance differentiation justifies cost premiums during early commercialization. Major technology companies including Apple, Tesla, AMD, and Amazon AWS are conducting qualification testing, with Samsung Electronics planning glass substrate interposer adoption by 2028 and operating pilot lines at Sejong facilities.

Intel's strategic pivot from internal production to licensing its extensive patent portfolio (600+ glass substrate patents) could accelerate industry-wide commercialization by enabling latecomers to advance development more rapidly. Samsung Electro-Mechanics targets first prototypes by Q2 2025, while LG Innotek builds Gumi pilot lines aiming for year-end prototype production. Glass material suppliers including AGC, Corning, SCHOTT, and Nippon Electric Glass provide substrate-grade compositions optimized for CTE matching and low dielectric loss.

Despite compelling advantages, glass substrates face significant adoption barriers: current costs run 2-3x organic equivalents, manufacturing yields remain at 75-85% versus organic substrates' 90-95%, and supply chain concentration creates single-source dependencies. Brittleness requires specialized handling automation, while TGV formation and fine-pitch RDL processes demand continued optimization. Customer qualification cycles spanning 18-36 months delay market entry, particularly in conservative industries like automotive and telecommunications.

However, aggressive cost reduction roadmaps project 40-60% declines by 2030 through manufacturing scale, yield improvements, and competitive supply emergence. As processes mature and ecosystem infrastructure develops-design tools, standards, contract manufacturing services-glass substrates are positioned to capture 20-30% of advanced packaging market by 2036, with deployment timelines accelerating as major technology companies validate commercial viability through pilot programs transitioning to volume production in 2027-2030 timeframe.

"The Global Market for Glass Substrates for Semiconductors 2026-2036" delivers comprehensive analysis of this transformative advanced packaging technology poised to revolutionize semiconductor manufacturing. As AI accelerators, 5G/6G infrastructure, and autonomous vehicles demand unprecedented integration density and electrical performance, glass substrates emerge as the critical enabling platform displacing conventional organic substrates and challenging silicon interposers across high-performance applications.
