    SCHOTT Develops Ultra-Thin Glass for Mobile Devices, IoT

    Flexible but very strong micrometer thin glass is a key component in cellphones, wearables and IoT sensors.

    Flexible glass, thinner than a human hair, can be used in high-tech applications e.g. in the semiconductor and electronics industry. SCHOTT is producing this ultra-thin glass for a variety of applications.

    This ultra-thin glasses can be used in the cutting-edge features of mobile devices, substrates for flexible OLED displays and wearables, camera systems, micro batteries, processors, and fingerprint and bio-sensors.

    By using innovative materials and its own proprietary down-draw technology, SCHOTT can reliably produce ultra-thin glasses measuring as slim as 25 microns. Ultra-thin glass offers many technical advantages over plastic or silicon in semiconductor applications, and advance the trend toward miniaturization.

    SCHOTT’s D 263 T eco hardened ultra-thin glass is scratch resistant and bendable up to a radius of a few millimeters without showing any signs of fatigue. Furthermore, it has excellent barrier properties and protects against environmental influences such as moisture, air, or other particles. These qualities make it an ideal substrate or encapsulant for OLEDs that can be used for bendable or foldable displays in wearables and curved screens.

    Capacitive fingerprint sensors used to securely identify smartphone users are becoming increasingly important. To achieve the highest recognition accuracy, the sensors require covers as thin as possible, but incredibly strong.

    As an inorganic material, SCHOTT’s AF 32 ultra-thin glass is ideal for high-performance processors in smartphones.

    Ultra-thin glass also represents a promising alternative to silicon as a substrate material for interposers and for distributing data streams between processors, memory chips and other components. Micrometer-thin glass is an ideal substrate for novel thin-film batteries. Potential fields of application for thin batteries include wearables, cameras, and Internet of Things devices.

    “Ultra-thin glass is the material of the future, opening the door to new capabilities and better connectivity of smartphones, wearables and Internet of Things devices,” says Dr. Rüdiger Sprengard, director of new business for ultra-thin glass at SCHOTT Advanced Optics. “It’s hard to imagine a piece of glass thinner than a human hair, but ultra-thin glass is just that, and its technical advantages make it a truly novel and special product that has many applications in the high-tech devices of the future.”
