Replacing plastic with glass in microchips allows them to survive temperatures of 400 degrees
Engineers are revolutionizing AI hardware by replacing plastic components with ultra-thin glass substrates that can withstand extreme heat and prevent the warping that plagues modern high-performance microchips.
Modern semiconductors are hitting a thermal wall, but glass substrates offer a high-heat solution. While traditional plastic-based laminates begin to warp at 250 degrees Celsius, ultra-thin 100-micron glass sheets remain stable at temperatures up to 400 degrees. This thermal resilience allows for denser 3D chip stacking, which is essential for the next generation of AI processors.
