Plan Optik AG (Elsoff, Germany) and 4JET microtech (Alsdorf, Germany) have jointly developed a process chain for the highly productive production of metallized through-glass vias. The new VLIS process (short for Volume Laser Induced Structuring) enables the production of high-precision TGV (“Through Glass Vias”) for advanced packaging in glass wafers, or substrates for displays. TGV…
What are MEMS Pressure Sensors? MEMS Pressure Sensors are manufactured by using MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) technologies. The core part of a MEMS Pressure Sensor is a pressure sensing die based on a silicon device wafer, encapsulated by a high quality borosilicate glass wafer. How do MEMS Pressure Sensors work? A membrane inside the silicon…
