Why Glass Core is the Next Leap in High-Speed Design

In this episode of The EEcosystem Podcast, Judy Warner sits down with Steve Hillerich, Product Manager at Samtec, to explore the breakthrough potential of Glass Core Technology (GCT). Discover how Samtec is redefining high-speed interconnects, miniaturization, and system integration by controlling every aspect of glass substrate development—from TGV drilling to RDL patterning.

Plus, get a sneak peek at Samtec’s upcoming demos at IMS and their exciting work on a Process Design Kit (PDK) for custom glass board designs.
