The website covers an overall location of 132,000 m2 and produces 182.2 * 182.2 mm n-type silicon wafers. It is anticipated that the center will be all set for complete production by the end of April.
According to a declaration from Vsun, the center is “utilizing the most sophisticated devices and technological procedure paths in the market” and running under a Japanese quality management system. The business stated that the completed crystal can be cut, polished and sawn into wafers according to client specs.
