Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure is directed to the use of glass wafers as carriers, interposers, or in other selected applications in which electronic circuitry or operative elements, such as transistors, are formed in the creation of electronic devices. The glass wafers generally include a glass having a coefficient of thermal expansion equal to or substantially equal to a coefficient of thermal expansion of semiconductor silicon, an indexing feature, and a coating on at least a portion of one face of the glass.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of fabricating an electronic device, the method comprising: introducing a glass wafer into equipment used in semiconductor fabrication, wherein the glass wafer comprises: a glass having a coefficient of thermal expansion from about 2×10 −6 /° C. to about 9×10 −6 /° C., an indexing feature configured to be recognized by the semiconductor fabrication equipment, and a coating on at least a portion of one face of the glass, wherein the coati…
