SILTRONIC - ONE OF THE INDUSTRY TECHNOLOGY LEADERS

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
