The production of silicon involves several complex stages, transforming raw materials into high-purity silicon suitable for use in various industries, particularly in semiconductor manufacturing. Here’s a brief overview of the silicon production process: 1️⃣ Extraction: Quartz (SiO₂)—one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust—is first mined. This mineral is the primary source of silicon. 2️⃣ Reduction: The quartz is heated with carbon in an electric arc furnace at very high temperatures. This process reduces the quartz to metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si). 3️⃣ Purification: MG-Si is purified using the Siemens process, converting it to trichlorosilane (SiHCl₃) and then decomposing it to produce high-purity polycrystalline silicon. 4️⃣ Crystal Growth: The Czochralski (CZ) process, or Float-Zone process, grows single-crystal silicon ingots from the molten silicon. 5️⃣ Wafer Production: The silicon ingots are sliced into thin wafers, which are polished, cleaned, and shipped to semiconductor fabs around the world. But the journey doesn’t stop there!
