AI bottleneck research wiki
Reviewable static packet generated from the investor LLM wiki. Current focus: whether glass substrate / TGV / metallization becomes an investable AI physical-stack bottleneck.
Decision supported
Watch / pass / candidate identification for glass substrate, through-glass-via, metallization, bonding, and inspection exposures. No equity graduates to candidate without customer qualification, orders/backlog, revenue materiality, valuation, and downside gates.
Bull case
Glass adoption becomes real for AI/HPC packages; scarce value accrues to hard process steps such as TGV formation, RDL/metallization, bonding, inspection, and qualified fabrication.
Bear case
Evidence remains roadmap/vendor-heavy; TSMC glass linkage is unverified; exposed suppliers may not show material orders, pricing power, or earnings impact.
Next checks
SKC/Absolics filings, LPKF backlog/orders, TSMC symposium/earnings, and customer-side AMD/NVIDIA/Broadcom qualification evidence.
