Precision Glass Drilling Services
At Tihot Optics, we provide industry-leading glass drilling services specifically optimized for wafer-level packaging, semiconductors, microfluidics, and optoelectronic integration. Backed by over 15 years of experience in precision glass machining, we use advanced laser and ultrasonic drilling technologies to create clean, high-aspect-ratio holes in delicate and high-value glass substrates—without introducing cracks, stress, or contamination.
Whether you’re fabricating through-glass vias (TGVs), preparing substrates for MEMS, or building next-generation microfluidic devices, our solutions are engineered to meet the extreme precision and cleanliness required in today’s high-tech markets.
High-Precision Drilling Capabilities
Our facility is equipped to deliver micron-level hole placement accuracy, even on ultra-thin or chemically strengthened glass. Key capabilities include:
Hole diameter range: 0.05 mm to 5 mm
Thickness range: 0.1 mm to 10 mm
Aspect ratio: Up to 10:1 for deep microvias
Positional accuracy: ±5 µm
Hole types: Through-holes, blind holes, vias, and custom apertures
Material compatibility:
- SCHOTT BOROFLOAT® 33
- Corning EAGLE XG®, GORILLA®, D263T™
- Fused silica and quartz
- Other technical optical glasses
These capabilities make Tihot an ideal partner for R&D labs and production environments where geometry complexity, dimensional tightness, and material cleanliness are critical to success.
Typical Applications of Optical Glass Drilling
We support a wide range of industry use cases that rely on clean, precise glass holes:
Each project is managed with strict process control, including post-drilling inspection, cleaning, and traceable batch verification.
Hole Dimension Guidelines
We work closely with clients to define optimal drilling parameters. Our typical dimensional specifications include:
Parameter | Specification |
---|---|
Minimum Hole Diameter | 0.05 mm |
Maximum Hole Diameter | 5 mm |
Glass Thickness Supported | 0.1 mm to 10 mm |
Positional Tolerance | ±5 µm |
Aspect Ratio | Up to 10:1 |
Surface Finish | Smooth, with minimal chipping |
We can also accommodate custom geometries, including oval, square, or stepped-hole configurations upon request.
