Compared with traditional FR4 boards, glass PCBs offer advantages such as heat resistance, transparency, and stability, and are widely used in high-end fields like 5G communications and medical devices. PCBWay now offers this advanced glass PCB technology, enabling manufacturers to leverage its unique properties for high-frequency, high-precision, and high-reliability applications.
Glass PCB capabilities
- Layer count: single-sided and double-sided glass PCB
- Copper thickness: 6µm – 35µm
- Board thickness: 0.4mm – 4.0mm
- Maximum panel size: 1500mm × 500mm
- Minimum trace width / spacing: ≥ 0.075mm
Advantages of glass PCB
- High Temperature Resistance: glass PCBs have a softening point of up to 1,000°C, and their thermal expansion coefficient matches that of silicon chips, maintaining dimensional stability under extreme temperatures
- Stable signal transmission: with extremely low dielectric loss and stable dielectric constant, glass PCBs ensure almost no attenuation or distortion during high-frequency signal transmission
- Slim and lightweight design: ultra-thin thickness below 100 µm can be achieved while maintaining excellent flatness and mechanical strength, meeting the requirements of high-density integration
Application fields of glass PCB
- Aerospace: able to withstand drastic temperature changes and space radiation; low outgassing prevents contamination of precision equipment
- Optoelectronics: leveraging glass transparency and integrated optical waveguides to enable efficient optoelectronic co-packaging and board-level optical interconnects
- Microelectronic packaging: used as 2.5D/3D interposer boards, supporting high-density interconnections and matching chip thermal expansion characteristics
- RF and microwave devices: maintains ultra-low loss in millimetre-wave frequency bands, significantly improving antenna array efficiency and signal reception sensitivity
