    Abstract: Methods for forming a through-glass vias in glass-based substrates include irradiating a glass-based substrate with a laser beam to form a damage track extending from a first major surface to a second major surface of the glass-based substrate, and contacting the glass-based substrate with a first etchant, including a base, to form a preliminary through-glass via. The method includes contacting the glass-based substrate with a second etchant, including an acid. The contacting with the second etchant widens a first cross-sectional area of the preliminary through-glass via at the first major surface of the glass-based substrate and widens a second cross-sectional area of the preliminary through-glass via at the second major surface of the glass-based substrate.

    Abstract: A method of laser bonding glass to metal foil includes contacting a first glass substrate with a first metal foil to create a first contact location; directing a laser beam on the first contact location to bond the first glass substrate to the first metal foil; contacting a second glass substrate with a second metal foil to create a second contact location; and directing the laser beam on the second contact location to bond the second glass substrate to the second metal foil, wherein the first metal foil and the second metal foil each have a thickness from 5 μm to 100 μm, and wherein the laser beam comprises a pulsed laser comprising: a pulse energy from 2.8 μJ to 1000 μJ; and a wavelength such that the first and second glass substrates are substantially transparent to the wavelength.
