Three-dimensional integrated circuit which incorporates a glass interposer and method for fabricating the same

A three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) which incorporates a glass interposer and a method for fabricating the three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D-IC) with the glass interposer are described herein. In one embodiment, the 3D-IC incorporates a glass interposer which has vias formed therein which are not filled with a conductor that allow for precision metal-to-metal interconnects (for example) between redistribution layers. In another embodiment, the 3D-IC incorporates a glass interposer which has vias and has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is different than the CTE of silicon which is 3.2 ppm/Celsius Degree.
