MSG Lithoglas Licenses Schott IP

MSG Lithoglas AG of Berlin has signed an agreement with Schott AG of Mainz, Germany, for exclusive use of Schott's process and application IP on additive structuring of glass. This technology enables the deposition of thin borosilicate glass layers at low temperatures and allows for hermetic packaging on wafer-level – yielding reliable, robust and biocompatible passivation at low costs. The agreement covers all products ranging from microstructured glass wafers to glass passivation of silicon wafers, as well as wafer-level capping of MEMS or opto-devices.
