The present disclosure provides a nanowire bundle including a plurality of cores including metal and arranged in a predetermined shape at regular intervals; a first glass portion including glass and covering the plurality of cores; and a second glass portion including glass and covering the first glass portion, and a method for manufacturing the nanowire bundle.

Methods for fabricating wires insulated by low porosity glass coatings are provided, as are high temperature electromagnetic (EM) devices containing such wires. In embodiments, a method for fabricating a high temperature EM device includes applying a glass coating precursor material onto a wire. The glass coating precursor material contains a first plurality of glass particles having an initial softening point. After application onto the wire, the glass coating precursor material is heat treated under process conditions producing a crystallized intermediary glass coating having a modified softening point exceeding the initial softening point. The crystallized intermediary glass coating is then infiltrated with a filler glass precursor material containing a second plurality of glass particles. After infiltration, the filler glass precursor material is heat treated to consolidate the second plurality of glass particles into the crystallized intermediary glass coating and thereby yield a low porosity glass coating adhered to the wire.

A substrate for a flexible device which includes a stainless steel sheet, a nickel plating layer formed on a surface of the stainless steel sheet, and a glass layer of electrical insulating bismuth-based glass formed in the form of layer on a surface of the nickel plating layer.

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a blind hole of an insulating substrate for an electronic device. The method includes following steps. A patterned photoresist layer is formed over the insulating substrate. The patterned photoresist layer has an opening exposing a portion of the insulating substrate. A wet etching process is performed to remove the exposed insulating substrate to form a blind hole in the opening.
