squaring from round monosilicon ingots
to pseudosquare ingots
•
bricketing from large square multisilicon
ingots, as produced in the furnaces, to square
blocks with standard format 156 mm x 156 mm.
Both processes are realized using the latest Swiss
wire saw technology on a special wire saw type called
“squarer”. This offers more efficient
silicon usage (reduced kerf loss) compared to the
traditional band saw approach.
