ABSTRACT

The modern-day electronics industry, which includes televisions, radios, electrical appliances, automobile components, calculators, and personal computers, would not exist without semiconductor-grade polysilicon. These modern conveniences, which enhance the quality of life for humanity, will increase to even larger usage in the future. This article focuses on the economics of producing polysilicon for the electronics industry. The results are intended to be semiquantitative and useful in initial project studies.
