Polysilicon Production Cost Reports

Polysilicon production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Polysilicon production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Polysilicon. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Polysilicon, or polycrystalline silicon (Si), is a kind of high-purity silicon composed of various smaller crystals or crystallites. It is made up of trichlorosilane (SiHCl3) or silane (SiH4).

Polysilicon may be among the purest elements worldwide, with a purity of over 99.99%. It is the most important non-carbon (inorganic) substance after water and air in the world. It looks silvery in appearance. It has a molecular weight of 28.08 g/mol and a density of 2330 kg/m3. Its respective melting and boiling points are 1414 °C and 2900 °C.

Polysilicon is used in various industries, which is expected to drive its market demand further. In the semiconductor industry, Ultrapure poly is used to purify crude poly. In solar energy applications, polycrystalline silicon of p-type and n-type is used that is responsible for charging Silicon-based photovoltaic cells (PV Cells), which is boosting its market demand. In addition, thin films of Polysilicon are usually used in silicon wafer processing in MOS applications.

It also finds application as a resistor and to ensure ohmic contacts for hollow junctions; it's great to work in high-temperature processing and junctions admirably with thermal SiO2; in gate electrode applications, it is mixed with a metal or metal silicide to improve its conductivity.

Other recent applications boosting the market demand for polysil include its role as a raw material in Czochralski process and Bridgeman technique); conducting gate material in MOSFET and CMOS processing technologies, as the active and doped layers in thin-film transistors. Also, some of the present market trend furthering the industry growth include increased consolidation of the market, China imposing tariffs on polysilicon imports which benefit the domestic producers, as well as the rising demand from wafer companies etc.
