Recently, an investor asked Daqo Energy on the interactive platform: Previously, you said that the company's semiconductor polysilicon project was aimed at the zone-melt-grade semiconductor silicon materials required for the manufacture of 12-inch and below wafers. Is the quality of semiconductor polysilicon in this project higher than that in Tongwei? Tongwei Company has claimed to have an annual production capacity of 1000 tons of electronic grade polysilicon for semiconductor industry, which has been verified by relevant customers and successfully realized overseas export supply. When will the semiconductor polysilicon project of Daqo Energy be put into production?
In this regard, Daqo Energy replied that the company has planned a 21,000 ton semiconductor-grade silicon material project in Inner Mongolia, of which 1,000 tons of semiconductor-grade silicon material project has been connected to water, electricity and ventilation in the third quarter of this year. After the product output, the company will carry out certification to the downstream, and according to the certification situation, market conditions and the company's capital expenditure plan, timely start the project construction of 20000 tons/year semiconductor silicon materials. The layout in the field of semiconductor polysilicon is conducive to expanding the business layout of the company's high-end silicon products, further optimizing the company's industrial structure, and helping the company's healthy and sustainable development in the future.
