High-purity semiconductor silicon, Polished wafers, Epitaxial wafers, Annealed wafers, SOI wafers

 

As the world's leading silicon wafer (a substrate for integrated circuits) manufacturer, the Shin-Etsu Group continues to run at the leading edge of high-flatness and larger diameters in its wafer products. It has met early success with strong sales of its next-generation 300mm-diameter wafers and SOI wafers. It is steadily supplying these high-quality products to its worldwide customers. In addition, Shin-Etsu produces a whole range of GaP (gallium phosphide), AlGaInP (aluminium gallium indium phosphide) and GaAs (gallium arsenide) compound semiconductors, which act as light-emitting diodes, from single crystals to chips.
The Shin-Etsu Group is further increasing its level of technology, in single crystals, precision pro-cessing and quality control, which is already rated as the finest in the world, and is continuing to provide a steady supply of silicon wafers for ICs.

		Aircraft can be considered an assemblage of the latest modern technology. These days, without ICs, they would all be grounded.
		Mobile phones, PCs... all around us, almost all digital products use ICs.
		Compound semiconductors are widely used in LED displays in large signboards.
