Silicon wafers serve as the substrate to produce solar cells, harnessing sunlight to generate electricity. With the increasing focus on renewable energy solutions, the demand for silicon wafers in the solar sector has experienced significant growth. The continuous improvement in solar cell efficiency, driven by advancements in silicon wafer manufacturing and thin-film technologies, contributes to the widespread adoption of solar energy.
Advancements also influence the adoption of silicon wafers in manufacturing processes. The industry's shift towards larger wafer sizes, such as 300mm wafers, enhances manufacturing efficiency, leading to higher chip yield and lower production costs. This trend is crucial in meeting the escalating demand for electronic devices and supporting economies of scale. Moreover, innovations in wafer bonding, thin-film technology, and the exploration of alternative materials contribute to the versatility of silicon wafers, enabling their adoption in diverse applications beyond traditional semiconductor manufacturing.
According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, India is one of the greatest sectors for consumer electronics in the Asia-Pacific region.
