Electronic substrate having an embedded etch stop to control cavity depth in glass layers therein

Abstract

An electronic substrate may be fabricated having at least two glass layers separated by an etch stop layer, wherein a bridge is embedded within one of the glass layers. The depth of a cavity formed for embedding the bridge is control by the thickness of the glass layer rather than by controlling the etching process used to form the cavity, which allows for greater precision in the fabrication of the electronic substrate. In an embodiment of the present description, an integrated circuit package may be formed with the electronic substrate, wherein at least two integrated circuit devices may be attached to the electronic substrate, such that the bridge provides device-to-device interconnection between the at least two integrated circuit devices. In a further embodiment, the integrated circuit package may be electrically attached to an electronic board.
