Global Solar Silicon Wafer Market Overview:
A wafer is a thin piece of semiconductor material, normally silicon crystal. These wafers are used to fabricate integrated circuits (ICs) and other micro devices. They are the basic product for the production of solar cells. Depending on the production method, different wafer materials have to be distinguished such as monocrystalline and polycrystalline.
Market Drivers
- Increased Solar Cell Manufacturing Worldwide
- The Rising Government Initiatives towards Renewable Energy
Restraints
- A High Cost of Solar Silicon Wafers
