TSMC is collaborating with Ibiden and Innolux to validate glass substrates for its new CoPoS advanced packaging technology. This shift from wafer-level to panel-level processing aims to overcome limitations of traditional organic and silicon interposers. Simulation results indicate glass substrates offer significant improvements in warpage, thermal expansion, elastic modulus, power integrity, and
