Glass core package substrates

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems and methods for efficiently generating a package substrate. A semiconductor fabrication process (or process) fabricates each of a first glass package substrate and a second glass package substrate with a redistribution layer on a single side of a respective glass wafer. The process flips the second glass package substrate upside down and connects the glass wafers of the first and second glass package substrates together using a wafer bonding technique. In some implementations, the process uses copper-based wafer bonding. The resulting bonding between the two glass wafers contains no air gap, no underfill, and no solder bumps. Afterward, the side of the first glass package substrate opposite the glass wafer is connected to at least one integrated circuit. Additionally, the side of the second glass package substrate opposite the glass wafer is connected to a component on the motherboard through pads on the motherboard.
