🌐 How Silicon Ingots Are Made: The Foundation of Modern Semiconductors Silicon ingots are essential for creating the wafers used in semiconductor manufacturing. Their production involves precise and controlled processes to achieve the high purity and structural perfection required. 🔹 Step 1: Purifying Silicon Raw silicon, extracted from quartz or sand, undergoes purification to achieve semiconductor-grade purity (99.9999%) through the Siemens process. 🔹 Step 2: The Czochralski Process Using the CZ method, purified silicon is melted, and a small seed crystal is dipped into the molten silicon. As the crystal is slowly pulled out and rotated, it forms a cylindrical single-crystal silicon ingot. #BigShineKorea #BigShineWorldwide #Semiconductors #SiliconIngots #Innovation #TechnologyLeadership

#DidYouKnow SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) in Semiconductor Technology Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) is a cutting-edge semiconductor technology that uses a layered silicon-insulator-silicon structure instead of the traditional silicon substrate. The insulator, often a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), is sandwiched between a thin layer of silicon and a silicon base. This design improves the performance and efficiency of semiconductor devices.
