This is a list of countries by silicon production in 2021, based on USGS figures. [1] Rank Country/region Silicon production (thousands of tons per year) ...
This is a list of silicon producers. The industry involves several very different stages of production. Production starts at silicon metal, which is the material used to gain high purity silicon. High purity silicon in different grades of purity is used for growing silicon ingots, which are sliced to wafers in a process called wafering.
Wafer size – largest wafer diameter that a facility is capable of processing. (Semiconductor wafers are circular.) Process technology node – size of the smallest features that the facility is capable of etching onto the wafers. Production capacity – a manufacturing facility's nameplate capacity. Generally max wafers produced per month.
The funds for projects in Texas and Missouri will establish the first high-volume U.S. production of 300-mm wafers for advanced semiconductors and expand production of silicon-on-insulator wafers ...

Wafers grown using materials other than silicon will have different thicknesses than a silicon wafer of the same diameter. Wafer thickness is determined by the mechanical strength of the material used; the wafer must be thick enough to support its own weight without cracking during handling. The tabulated thicknesses relate to when that process ...
Wolfspeed has pioneered production of 200-millimeter substrates, or wafers, which are larger than the industry standard 150-millimeter size. Larger in diameter, these wafers yield more chips and ...
Production began for 3-inch wafers. [19] Fab 5 / D1 Aloha, Oregon, U.S. Previously a development facility, then production facility. Currently inactive. [20] Fab 6 Chandler, Arizona, U.S. 1980 2000 First silicon wafer manufacturing facility in Arizona. Key architecture was the 286 microprocessor. Fab 7 Rio Rancho, New Mexico, U.S. 1980 2002 ...
