Taesung Supplies TGV Acid Etching Equipment to Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology

Taesung has supplied the next-generation semiconductor packaging glass substrate TGV (Through Glass Via) acid etching equipment to the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology.

According to Taesung on August 11, TGV is a technology that forms fine holes penetrating the glass substrate and implements internal metal wiring to electrically connect the upper and lower circuits of the substrate. With the increasing advancement of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) semiconductor integration and advanced packaging technologies, it is gaining attention as a next-generation core processing technology.

The TGV acid etching equipment supplied in this instance enables precise etching of glass substrates that have been pre-processed by laser or other methods to achieve the desired TGV hole shapes and sizes. The diameter and shape of the holes, as well as the uniformity of etching within the substrate, directly determine the quality of the subsequent metallization and plating processes, requiring an extremely high level of precision. Furthermore, due to the fragile nature of glass, it is crucial to ensure uniform etching quality while minimizing cracks and breakage.

Taesung has expanded its business domain into the glass substrate sector based on expertise in wet processes and automation equipment accumulated through its existing PCB manufacturing equipment business. The company possesses equipment technologies that support key processes such as TGV acid etching, alkaline etching, general etching, cleaning, and plating, and has also completed a mass production system centered on its new factory in Cheonan.

A representative from Taesung stated, "While we have previously secured a product lineup of glass substrate equipment through research and development, we are now entering a phase where we can achieve tangible business results through actual supply. Starting with this delivery, we plan to accelerate mass production applications with both domestic and overseas clients, making our glass substrate business a new growth engine."
