Before a chip can power your phone, PC, or car, it has to pass through extreme production environments shaped by heat, chemicals, and plasma.

Semiconductor manufacturing depends on materials that can withstand those conditions without adding contamination, instability, or unnecessary variation.

In Solutions Magazine, take a deep dive into plasma-melted quartz glass and the demanding semiconductor production steps where precision depends on materials built to withstand extreme conditions.

Some inventions become so integral to our world that we rarely consider their origins. Borosilicate glass is one of them, and its history is closely linked to Otto Schott.

Schott helped lay the scientific foundation for modern glass development. In 1884, he founded the “Glastechnisches Laboratorium Schott & Gen.” in Jena with Ernst Abbe, Carl Zeiss, and Roderich Zeiss. His pioneering work included developing thermally and chemically resistant borosilicate glass, opening new possibilities for science, technology, and industry.

But his impact extended beyond glass. As an entrepreneur and engaged citizen, he helped shape Jena, supported Ernst Abbe’s vision for the Carl Zeiss Foundation, and contributed to a corporate culture built on responsibility and respect for employees.

Now, for the first time, a comprehensive biography brings these facets together. Written by Dr. Jürgen Steiner, a longtime colleague and expert on our company’s history, “The Glass Pioneer. Otto Schott 1851–1935” was published by Herder Verlag and draws on historical documents, anecdotes, and contemporary perspectives to trace Schott’s life and legacy.

“Otto Schott was an icon of glass science and industry. With his groundbreaking development work, he was one of the most important inventors of his time,” says Dr. Steiner. “At the same time, he was a pioneer of sustainable corporate management and a committed citizen.”

Across 240 pages, the book portrays a scientist, entrepreneur and citizen whose legacy continues to shape our company and the world of glass science.

175 years after Otto Schott’s birth, his remarkable life and legacy have been captured in a comprehensive biography for the first time. And what better place than to mark its publication than where so much of his story began. “The glass pioneer. Otto Schott 1851–1935” was presented to the public in the historic SCHOTT Villa in Jena, once home to Otto Schott and his family.

Author Dr. Jürgen Steiner, a long-time colleague and expert on our company’s history, introduced the book together with Dr. Robert Köhler from Herder Verlag and our CEO Dr. Torsten Derr. Representatives from SCHOTT, the publishing house, various local institutions, and the media joined the event.

And history wasn’t the only focus of the day. A tour of the former Schott family home was followed by a look at today’s SCHOTT in Jena, including a visit to SCHOTT MINIFAB production. It offered just one example of how Otto Schott’s legacy of innovation lives on: more than a century after he pioneered borosilicate glass, innovation around this remarkable material continues, today enabling highly precise components for modern diagnostics and life science applications.

“Otto Schott was a remarkable and inspiring personality. With great passion and determination, he achieved the breakthrough to modern glass science and established the specialty glass industry as a new sector,” said Dr. Torsten Derr.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate!

Our next contribution to bringing AI smart glasses to the mass market. 👓

AI smart glasses are moving closer to everyday use, raising the bar for optical performance, low weight, and durability. That’s why we’re expanding our portfolio of high-index glass wafers for next-generation waveguides. The new material - SCHOTT RealView® 2.0 lightweight - combines a 2.0 refractive index with low density, high transmittance, and the mechanical robustness needed for both reliable wafer processing and daily use.

This combination gives optical designers greater flexibility to develop compact, lightweight waveguides for bright, full-color displays.

SCHOTT RealView® 2.0 lightweight is now available for sampling, ready for high-volume supply, and will make its debut next week at in Shenzhen.

Co-packaged optics, a technology gaining importance for AI and data-center infrastructure, brings a new question to advanced packaging: which material can support both digital and optical integration?

As bandwidth density is pushed to new levels, optical and digital processing need to move closer together. Shorter electrical paths can reduce losses and power consumption, while optical links can enable higher data transport within and between packages.

This puts the substrate material into focus.

With D 263® T, we offer a glass material that has already been successfully used for high-quality optical waveguides via ion exchange. The same glass has also been used for high-quality through-glass-via formation in digital packaging.

That makes it a strong material basis for combining electrical and optical functionality in future advanced package architectures.

Our Semicon Glass Solutions team is continuously working on process understanding and next-generation material optimization to support the uptake of co-packaged optics.

Because the next step in advanced packaging will not be digital or optical alone.
It will depend on the materials that can help bring both worlds closer together.

Glass core substrates (GCS) are gaining momentum. Scale-up is where the real work starts.

The advantages of glass are becoming clearer as packages grow larger and more complex: high surface quality, dimensional stability, low warpage, and strong electrical properties for high-performance packaging.

But commercialization is not decided by material properties alone. For large-scale adoption, many details must work together: repeatable TGV formation, reliable singulation, defect control, CTE matching, handling, and integration into existing semiconductor processes.

That is why we look at glass from both sides: material potential and manufacturing reality.

Our Semicon Glass Solutions team supports customers with the right glass portfolio, technical consulting, sampling, simulation support, and prototyping capabilities.

This helps customers evaluate not only which glass fits their architecture, but how it performs in their process environment.

Scalability is the goal.
