Ho Chi Minh City | 29/05/2024 - Vietnam has the potential to become a regional chip manufacturing hub due to the increasingly tense wave of semiconductor factories shifting production from East Asia region. To realize this vision, it is necessary to have a supply of the main raw material - silicon wafers.


Silicon wafers are the "Number One" raw material for fabricating semiconductor chips, which serve as the foundation for many types of electronic devices and solar cells.

A qualified silicon wafer requires strict requirements of high material purity and advanced precision technology to ensure the most efficient performance of electronic devices or photovoltaic cells in the later stages.


From Sand to Silicon - Building the foundation for the development of Vietnam's semiconductor industry with Vietnam Wafer


Silicon wafers are made from white silica sand, which is primarily composed of silicon dioxide. The process begins with refining the silica sand to create pure silicon. This silicon is then melted and formed into single crystal blocks using the Czochralski or Float Zone method.

These blocks are cut into ultra-thin wafers, then polished and cleaned to remove impurities and achieve perfect flatness, ready for the next processing steps in the fabrication of semiconductor chips and electronic devices.
