Early Stages in ASICChips and SolarCells Manufacturing
At the early stages, the manufacturing process for ASIC chips and solar cells are quite similar. Both are silicon-based, with post-extraction silicon being refined for purity, then molded into a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced into thin wafers. These wafers are the base of both ASIC chips and solar cells.
Silicon Wafers to ASIC Chips andSolar Cells
The raw silicon wafers are then used in two distinct paths. They can either be processed into silicon wafers specific for semiconductor applications—such as those typically used in the fabrication of the ASIC chips integral to creating high-performance computing hardware—or tailored to solar applications. The wafers become ASIC chips when they are carved into an integrated circuit meant to maximize efficiency in high-energy complex computing tasks.
ASIC Expertise: Advancing Solar Technology Efficiency
Ebon’s decade of experience designing efficient ASIC chips has translated well to the design of solar cells, giving us an edge in pushing the horizon of solar technology. Our advanced chip technology significantly boosts the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells, outperforming traditional solar technologies. This high efficiency is crucial for both reducing the cost per watt of solar power and improving the performance of photovoltaic installations.
