List of silicon producers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A list of silicon producers involves several very different categories of production. For example, high purity silicon production for semiconductor applications falls into at least two categories: Compositionally-pure polycrystalline silicon (useful e.g. for photovoltaics), plus dislocation-free and extremely-flat single-crystal silicon wafers (required e.g. in the manufacture of computer chips).
