Taiwan Polysilicon Corporation (TPC) is expected to become the first Taiwan-based poly-Si maker to kick off volume production, according to industry sources. With an initial capacity of 8,000 metric tons, it is conducting trial runs and will kick off volume production in late May 2010.
TPC has begun negotiating orders with potential clients in Taiwan and overseas markets, the sources indicated, adding the company uses the Siemens process to produce poly-Si for semiconductor-grade and solar-grade silicon wafers.
