Samsung Electronics plans to replace silicon with glass in a central component of chip packaging by 2028, aiming to enhance chip performance and lower costs.
This shift from silicon to glass is focused on improving interlayers used in chip packaging, particularly for 2.5D packaging integrating high-bandwidth memory with graphics processors.
Glass offers advantages over silicon in terms of cost-effectiveness, production versatility, thin circuit support, heat tolerance, and reliability under performance conditions.
Samsung's innovative approach of using glass in chip manufacturing reflects a forward-looking vision for faster, more efficient chips in the future, potentially setting a new standard in chip design by 2028.
