Hi Tang,
The grape team is still pursuing Corning DITO glass in M68. The issues
involve schedules, supply chains, and some process development.
First, we do not have a chemical strengthening process that will work
for Corning DITOs. The CG process is too aggressive to work with laser
scribe. Corning is doing some experiments to develop the correct CS
process now, with initial sample sheets to ship on 1/9 and 1/18 (the
schedule for this is based on the fact that their bath has to be
diluted for our process, so they needed to stop standard processing
for some time). These samples will be sent out for laser scribe
process development, but can only be made into non-functional DITOs
since the Corning CS bath is too small to handle sheets that are
compatible with our thin film line. Module assembly will have to be
more manual, since no alignment marks will be on these pieces of
glass. There are also some capacity and schedule issues at the laser
scribe supplier, and we are pushing to have them treat this project as
a higher priority to speed it up.
To build functional modules we'll need to transfer the new CS process
to a new vendor that had large sheet capability, or wait for Corning
to install a new large bath (estimated Feb.) Since the bath is diluted
relative to a "standard" Corning CS process, using their facilities
may not be a viable high-volume solution. Corning glass can be
strengthened to much greater depths than soda-lime, so while our
current process is self-limiting and therefore very forgiving, the new
CS process parameters must be controlled very carefully, which makes
the transfer to a new supplier a nontrivial matter.
As I mentioned above, we are still working on pulling together all the
necessary pieces to evaluate Corning DITO. Please note that the N82
results showed a CS/non-CS difference for impact testing where the

fractures originate in the center of the glass, but not in system
drop. Given the bezel to edge impact failure mode for M68 drops, I
still suspect that the improvement using Corning glass for this
problem will be smaller, though the potential gains in ball drop
strength may be significant with Corning.
Thanks,
Casey
