Wafer production process
Top technology position complemented with a high level of quality
A leading position in wafer technology
- First supplier to ship 300 mm wafers
- Development of 3 nm design rule started in 2019 (commercialization expected to start in 2022)
- Concurrently optimizing on 50+ wafer parameters of each design rule
- Single wafer traceability for 300 mm
- Standardized processes across sites enabling "copy exactly" at product level
R&D expenditure, in EUR million (% of sales)
400 engineers worldwide
Approximately 1,850 pending and active patents in almost 370 patent families*
Quality awards from several top semiconductor customers received over the years
*as of December 31, 2020
Siltronic is continuously improving its wafer solutions to match customer needs
A number of key ingot & wafer properties define the wafer specification and its further use by the customer
2 key requirements – purity and flatness
Purity of 1 ppt "parts per trillion" prerequisite for semi applications
1 ppt = 3 – 4 dissolved sugar cubes (~ 10 grams of sugar)
Flatness of a wafer – another key requirement
