Technology & Products
Key Products
["APEX® Glass Substrates","Integrated Passive Devices (IPDs)","3D Glass Interposers","Millimeter-wave (mmWave) Antennas","RF Filters and Couplers","3DHI (Three-Dimensional Heterogeneous Integration) Foundry Services"]
Technological Advantage
Glass offers near-zero electrical loss at high frequencies; the APEX® process allows for the cost-effective, high-volume production of complex 3D structures that are physically impossible to achieve with traditional glass or silicon processing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides low-loss, high-precision glass substrates that deliver superior electrical performance and thermal stability for 5G, 6G, and high-performance computing compared to traditional silicon or organic materials.
How They Differentiate
Patented APEX® glass-ceramic technology enabling high-precision 3D micro-machining and Through-Glass Vias (TGVs) with near-zero electrical loss at high frequencies (mmWave).
