Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (Taiwan, China)

Sino-American Silicon (SAS), founded in 1981, was the pioneer supplier of silicon wafers in Taiwan. Today, SAS is the leading manufacturer of medium and small diameter wafers in the world. Its main products include Semiconductor Ingots/Wafers , Solar Ingots/Wafers , Sapphire Wafers. Its headquarters is located in Science-Based Industrial Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C. In order to succeed in a highly competitive global environment, SAS utilizes state-of-art technology to improve production efficiency, reduce manufacturing costs, and increase sales in its quest to be the number one wafer provider in the world. Sino-American Silicon Products Inc., the leading and the first public company specializing in the manufacturing of medium-and small-diameter silicon wafers in Taiwan, possesses all of the technology required for silicon ingot growth, slicing, etching, diffusing, polishing, epitaxial and Sapphire wafer fabrication. The products can be applied in the field of Discrete, Optoelectronic, Analog and Photo Voltaic. The most advanced, high-precision equipment is installed in the SAS plants. Rigorous quality control procedures are implemented during production. Thanks to the hard work and efforts of the management and the entire staff, our company's business has risen consistently since 1998. Whether in terms of providing technology and information, developing products cooperatively, or sales/service quality, SAS has received firm approval from both domestic and foreign customers. Moreover, the amount of silicon wafer produced by SAS also leads the industry. These products are sold both to well-known domestic companies and internationally, including China, Japan, Korea, Europe, and America. Since its establishment, SAS has strategically allied with upstream producers, downstream producers and every foreign route business, so as to improve its international competitive edge. In addition, to internationalize our products and to realize the idea of international industry cooperation―“Global vision, rooted in Taiwan”―SAS established Kunshan Sino Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. in the PRC. As a matter of fact, this subsidiary can increase the elasticity of producing control, develop potential marketing, and service local customers as near as possible. As demand exceeds supply, SAS has positively planned to expand the branch factory in Kunshan, China, so the production quality and quantity of polished wafers can grow exponentially. Having foreseen that there were good business opportunities in developing global alternate resources, the company started to develop upstream materials for the solar industry in 2002. SAS is also the first producer of high-quality solar ingots. Responding to market demand, our branch company in Chunan (SSC), Taiwan, set up in 2005, formally produced high-quality solar mono ingots andwafers in the second quarter of 2006. To meet the emerging market trends of multi crystal, SSC started to develop and successfully mass produce solar multi ingots and wafers in the fourth quarter of 2006. With our aggressive efforts, SAS becomes one of the few manufacturers who possess not only solar mono crystal technology but also solar multi crystal technology in the global market. Furthermore, SSC established Optoelectronics Business Unit (OBU) to develop LED technology in 2007. Then, it started to have mass production of sapphire wafers in the third quarter of 2007. In June,2008, the strong-soaring demand from solar wafers lead to Fab.Ⅱ full utilization. In June,2010, SSC completed the construction of Fab.Ⅱ to materially expand the capacity threefold. SSC will continually devote itself to expand solar energy and optoelectronics products, improve quality, satisfy customers' needs, and provide comprehensive service. SAS acquired A
