For more than half a century, hyperpure silicon has been the raw material of choice in microelectronics. As the basis for virtually all semiconductor devices, it forms the foundation of the world’s electronic industry. It is also the foundation of our hyperpure silicon wafers used for extremely complex semiconductor components as well as in highly integrated microprocessors and memory components for information processing.
The performance of semiconductor devices is continually increasing, enabling the integration of more and more functions. The smallest structures, known as “nodes” or “design rules,” allow the production of increasingly powerful and energy-efficient computer chips and advanced power semiconductors.
With our extensive product portfolio, we supply, as a strategic development partner, among others the world’s twenty leading semiconductor companies. Many of these partnerships have existed for years and have developed into close, trusting business relationships. Together, we work in a process-oriented manner on the further development of future proof requirements. Thanks to our innovative strength and our focus on quality, operational excellence, and technology, we succeed in supplying wafers that meet even the most demanding requirements of the dynamic semiconductor industry. At the same time, we continuously advance our existing solutions.
We manufacture polished and epitaxial wafers in accordance with the latest design rules. Our innovative strength is impressively demonstrated by around 1,900 patents and patent applications.
Our production takes place within a global network of state of the art factories in Asia, Europe, and the USA. All sites are strategically located close to customers and have access to highly qualified specialists.
