PORTLAND, Ore. — Solar cell ingot manufacturer Solaicx has developed its own manufacturing process for wafers used in solar panels. The result, it claims, is much higher solar conversion efficiencies.

Slices of the ingot approximately 1/30th of an inch thick are cut from this "crystal salami" that is 3.9" to 17.7" in diameter to become "wafers," which is the starting point of chip making.

The Global Silicon Carbide Ingot Slicing Machine Market reached a value of USD 53.8 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 161.2 million by 2032, growing at an annual rate of 11.6% during ...
