TGV substrate, or Through-Glass Via (TGV) substrate, is a glass-based substrate featuring vertical electrical interconnections. It is characterized by three core aspects: glass material, through-via technology, and metallization.
TGV is a miniaturized packaging technology used in semiconductor packaging and microelectronic devices, providing vertical electrical interconnections through a glass substrate. It employs high-quality borosilicate glass or quartz glass as the base material. Processes such as laser-induced etching, seed layer sputtering, electroplating filling, chemical mechanical planarization, RDL, and bumping are used to achieve 3D interconnection. The diameter of TGVs typically ranges from 10μm to 100μm. For various applications in advanced packaging, tens of thousands of TGV vias are usually required per wafer, and they undergo metallization to ensure the necessary electrical conductivity.
TGV substrates exhibit excellent high-frequency electrical properties. The dielectric constant of glass material is only about one-third that of silicon, and its loss tangent is two to three orders of magnitude lower than that of silicon. This significantly reduces substrate loss and parasitic effects, ensuring signal integrity. The fabrication of TGV substrates does not require complex insulating layer deposition processes. Moreover, thinning is unnecessary for ultra-thin interposers, simplifying the production process and improving efficiency. Since large-format, ultra-thin panel glass is readily available and no insulating layer deposition is required on the substrate surface or the inner walls of the TGVs, manufacturing costs are greatly reduced. Even when the interposer thickness is less than 100μm, warpage remains minimal, ensuring the stability and reliability of the packaged structure. TGV substrates offer unique advantages in applications such as RF chips, high-end MEMS sensors, and high-density system integration, making them one of the preferred choices for next-generation high-frequency 3D chip packaging.
Currently, wafer-level TGV substrates are relatively mature in the market, while panel-level TGV substrates are still in the research or trial production stage. This report provides statistics based on wafer-sized TGV substrates. Additionally, a separate forecast and analysis for panel-level TGV substrates are included in Section 1.5 of this chapter.
Through-Glass Via (TGV) is an advanced 3D integrated circuit technology that enables device miniaturization, high-density packaging, and GHz-speed data processing for various markets such as data centers, 5G communication networks, and IoT devices. Glass is a potential alternative to silicon-based interposers. Compared to Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs), TGVs offer advantages such as lower cost, easy availability of large-format ultra-thin glass substrates, and superior high-frequency electrical performance. The core of TGV technology lies in the deep via formation process. Currently developed glass via formation techniques include plasma etching and laser ablation. However, due to the fragile nature, surface smoothness, and chemical inertness of glass materials, existing technologies have not yet enabled large-scale production and widespread application of TGVs.
From a regional perspective, the Chinese market has experienced rapid changes in recent years. In 2024, China's market size was $25.42 million, accounting for approximately 20.62% of the global market. It is expected to reach $132.12 million by 2031, representing 27.83% of the global market share by then. China is not only a leading country in 5G network deployment but also a major producer of downstream 5G terminal devices. The growth rate of China's TGV market exceeds the global average. With future technological advancements and cost reductions, the TGV market is poised for significant expansion.
In terms of product types and technologies, 300 mm wafers dominated the market in 2024, holding a 65.05% global market share.
Analyzing application areas, the consumer electronics sector is the largest application market for TGV substrates, accounting for 63.91% of the market. TGV substrates are widely used in smartphones, wearable devices, and high-speed processors to meet the demand for miniaturization of electronic components. The automotive industry accounts for 21.10% of the market, where TGV substrates enhance vehicle safety and performance in applications such as advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment systems, and power modules for electric vehicles. In other sectors, biomedical applications are gradually increasing due to the biocompatibility and high precision of TGV substrates, playing an important role in implantable medical devices, biosensors, and microfluidic chips. The integration rate of TGV substrates in 5G and high-frequency communication applications is rising, strongly supporting the development of next-generation wireless networks and data centers.
The TGV substrate market is highly concentrated. Globally, core manufacturers of TGV substrates mainly include Corning, LPKF, Samtec, SCHOTT, Xiamen Sky Semiconductor Technology, and Tecnisco. In 2024, the first-tier manufacturers, primarily Corning and LPKF, held a combined 50% market share. Second-tier manufacturers, such as Samtec, SCHOTT, Xiamen Sky Semiconductor Technology, and Tecnisco, collectively accounted for 33.86% of the market. The top players held nearly 90% of the market share in 2024. Competition in the industry is expected to intensify in the coming years, particularly in the Chinese market.
However, market development faces challenges. High production costs are a significant barrier to market expansion. Compared to traditional substrates, TGV substrate manufacturing technology is complex, leading to increased production time and impacting supply chain efficiency. Furthermore, in emerging markets, adoption rates are slower than in mature markets due to limited awareness of TGV technology.
In summary, the global TGV substrate market holds promising prospects but is accompanied by significant challenges. Companies must continuously optimize production processes to reduce costs, increase R&D investment to overcome technical hurdles, strengthen market promotion to enhance technology awareness, and closely monitor changes in policies and regulations. Only by doing so can they secure a favorable position in the intense market competition and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the TGV substrate market.
