About Us

“Siltronic follows a clear sustainability strategy for the benefit of the environment and with a view to company profitability. We conduct our planning with resource conservation in mind and we integrate factors such as product and process safety, health and environmental protection as well as labor and human rights into our business processes right from the outset. At the same time, we commit to accepted global sustainability initiatives and purposefully assume social responsibility particularly in the areas around our sites.”

In Singapore, Siltronic operates one of the world’s most advanced production facilities for high quality 200 mm and 300 mm silicon wafers.

Siltronic Singapore Pte Ltd (SSP) was established in 1997 for the manufacturing of 200 mm wafer. This manufacturing facility gave Siltronic an inaugural presence in Asia’s growing market by being close to its Asia customers and was a key milestone for the company.

In 2006, a new 300 mm wafer manufacturing facility was established together with the semiconductor joint venture partner – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.  In 2014, Siltronic increased its shareholdings with the entity re-named as Siltronic Silicon Wafer Pte Ltd (SSW).

The two legal companies operating under one-system and one-management synergy concept makes Siltronic a strong and robust site in Singapore. Yet, 2019 marked another momentous milestone for Siltronic with the official opening of a new CZ crystal pulling hall in Singapore to meet the increasing wafer demand.

Smartphones, laptops, servers, industrial applications and cars are just a few applications in which Siltronic wafers are used and with which almost everyone comes into contact in daily life. These hyperpure silicon wafers are processed by leading semiconductor manufacturers into semiconductor components.

One critical success factor for Siltronic is the technological competency necessary for its highly complex manufacturing processes. Stringent requirements at end-user applications continue to drive the needs for the reduction in Design Rules. The ability to continuously develop new Design Rules has made Siltronic one of the technology leaders in this field. Today, Siltronic holds some 1,850 patents and patent applications and is one of the five major manufacturers worldwide offering 300 mm silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry.

Apart from successful technological development, Siltronic focuses on development and growth of its people. Employees are given opportunity to develop their expertise in various disciplines such as engineering, technology, metrology, innovation, business processes, etc. In addition, Siltronic plays active roles in its corporate social responsibility.

Siltronic broke ground for its new manufacturing facility at JTC’s Tampines Wafer Fab Park in Singapore on 26 October 2021. In partnership with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), Siltronic’s investment of around EUR 2 billion (equivalent to nearly SGD 3 billion) until the end of 2024 will play an important role in meeting the growing semiconductor demand.

“As one of the leading manufacturers of silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry, we hold a strong market position and are setting the standards in technology and quality. Siltronic is a driving force of innovation in silicon wafer manufacturing. Our strategy is rigorously based on long-term success, efficiency, and the achievement of our quality and growth goals.”
