| abstract |
A method for forming through substrate vias (TSVs) in a non-conducting, glass substrate is disclosed. The method involves patterning a silicon template substrate with a plurality of lands and spaces, bonding a slab or wafer of glass to the template substrate, and melting the glass so that it flows into the spaces formed in the template substrate. The template substrate may then be removed to leave a plurality of TSVs in the glass slab or wafer. |
