Silicon Materials Site/About us

Silicon Materials, Inc. was founded in 1992 with electronic grade silicon wafer production as the initial goal. As a first step to achieve this goal, we evaluated existing manufacturing facilities in Eastern Europe. We worked under contact with various firms to determine the best location for investment. In 1996 our manufacturing facility opened in the Republic of Belarus by privatizing an existing facility. There were many advantages in opening production in Pinsk, Belarus. A trained and experienced process and production team was already in place. Technical expertise and facilities for material characterization existed and were accessible, resulting in a quick start-up with reliable and consistent results.

Silicon Materials, Inc. has enjoyed success and rapid growth. Our approved 2008 project list for capability improvements and facility upgrades is extensive. Our plans for 2009 are significant and will be announced in the coming months. Please visit our site often and check on our progress!

Highlights

• Silicon Materials, Inc. produces electronic grade silicon wafers, 2" through 150mm, Cz growth method, boron, phosphorus, antimony,, and arsenic dopants.

• All of our silicon wafers are produced from prime, electronic grade polysilicon. We have a longstanding relationship with our US polysilicon producer. We do not buy scrap as a feed source nor do we source our silicon on the spot market. The benefit to our customers is consistent and predictable wafer parameters.

• Silicon Materials, Inc. enjoys strong ties with our customers and and our commitment to them is long term in nature. Again the keyword here is predictability. Qualification costs are always significant be it prime wafer supply or test. Our marketing strategy is the same as our production goals, consistency and predictability where we feel this approach offers value to our customers.

• ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System is in place. Please use the following link to view our certificate or this link to download a high−definition image (7 MB, PDF).
