Quartz Sand

The semiconductor industry heavily relies on high-purity quartz sand for its unique properties, such as low thermal expansion, high resistance to thermal shock, excellent dielectric characteristics, and high UV light transmittance. These properties make it indispensable in the production of high-purity quartz tubes, rods, bars, plates, and crucibles, all of which are essential components in semiconductor manufacturing.

One of the critical applications of high-purity quartz sand is in the production of silicon metal, the fundamental material for semiconductor wafers created through the Czochralski process. In this process, polysilicon is melted in a quartz crucible, and a single crystal is drawn from the melt. This crystal is subsequently sliced into wafers, which serve as the foundation for semiconductor devices. The exceptional purity and high-temperature resistance of Semicorex quartz sand ensure that the quartz crucible can withstand the extreme conditions of wafer processing, thereby enhancing the quality and yield of the semiconductor wafers.

In addition to its use in semiconductor manufacturing, high-purity quartz sand is also crucial in the photovoltaic industry. It plays a significant role in the production of crystalline silicon (c-Si) cells and modules, which are the building blocks of solar panels. The low thermal expansion and high resistance to thermal shock of our quartz sand ensure that the quartz products used in photovoltaic manufacturing have fewer defects, such as bubbles, gas lines, and color lines. This results in higher efficiency and longer lifespan for the solar cells and modules.

High-purity quartz sand’s unique anti-crystallization ability and excellent high-temperature resistance further enhance its value in both the semiconductor and photovoltaic sectors. These properties ensure that the quartz products, whether used in semiconductor wafers or photovoltaic cells, maintain their structural integrity and performance under extreme conditions. The high transmittance of UV light also makes our quartz sand ideal for applications that require precise control of light transmission, such as optical fibers and high-end optical components used in semiconductor devices.
