铁杉半导体公司在其新的多晶硅设施开始生产，几乎将多晶硅（多晶硅）的输出增加，以满足半导体和快速增长的太阳能行业的需求。
This new facility – part of a $1.5 billion expansion of the company's Hemlock, Mich. (U.S.) site announced last year – will produce approximately 9,000 metric tons of new polysilicon capacity, bringing the company’s annual capacity to approximately 19,000 metric tons by the end of 2008 and making it the largest single polysilicon facility in the world.
“Delivering polysilicon from our new facility as quickly as possible was essential to meet our customers’ expectations," said Hemlock Semiconductor President and CEO Rick Doornbos. "These customers have put a lot of faith in us and the additional quantities of silicon feedstock will enable them to advance solar technology throughout the globe.”
铁杉半导体预计将在2010年开始完成与运营和供应的额外扩展。此扩展将在2011年底将铁杉站点的总容量增加到36,000吨。
“铁杉半导体逾40年的tec后已攀升hnical and manufacturing expertise to supply high-purity polysilicon to the semiconductor and solar industries was critical to our successful construction and operation of this new, world-class operation," said Doornbos. "We are proud of our team for successfully completing this expansion on-time and within budget.”
铁杉半导体继续搜索第二个位置，以潜在地建造新的制造工厂。与客户的合作努力正在进行中，可能导致公司预计对其材料的高需求继续扩展。欧洲杯足球竞彩
“作为多晶硅的领先制造商，我们荣幸能够与我们的客户密切合作，他们代表太阳能和电子行业的全球领导者的许多领导者，”Doornbos说。“我们的目标是使用我们的多晶硅专业知识帮助他们确保长期供应高纯度硅，以满足其增长目标。“
Hemlock Semiconductor is a joint venture of道康宁公司and two Japan-based firms, Shin-Etsu Handotai Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation. In solar applications, polycrystalline silicon is the cornerstone material used to produce solar cells that harvest renewable energy from light rays. In addition to serving the solar energy market, polysilicon is also used in the production of semiconductor devices used in computers, cell phones and other electronic applications.
