About Us
A few words about us
Let us introduce ourselves
Founded in 2010 in the heart of Silicon Valley, NanoSILICON, Inc. incorporates process tools capable of accommodating 50.8mm through 300mm wafer diameters. NSi provides virgin test and prime wafers polished in house, or factory sealed from major wafer manufacturers. NSi reclaim service capabilities continue to improve with tighter particle specs and TTVs. NSi oxide services offer thicknesses starting from 500Å, batch thickness uniformity ±5%, within wafer uniformity ±3%.
What truly separates NSi from other silicon wafer suppliers is our intense focus on quality control while offering competitive pricing. Our experienced production team and sales representatives strive for continuous improvement.
Industry background
The space we live in
From the birth of the first commercial silicon transistor produced by Texas Instruments in 1954, silicon wafers have increased in demand. Si wafers allowed the miniaturization of electronics that have become part of our daily lives. Inside cell phones, televisions, refrigerators, cars, and just about any electronic device we find computer chips and in turn find pieces of Si wafers.
An estimated 12 million silicon wafers of various diameters are used annually by the semiconductor industry. Approximately 33 percent of all Si wafers in use are discarded yearly. During the economic downturn, several semiconductor manufacturers initiated Si wafer recycling strategies to help reduce expenses.
Company profile
What we do
Constant pressures for cost reduction and fluctuation in silicon pricing demands quality virgin material at an economical price. Companies that manufacture semiconductors or semiconductor equipment gain further efficiencies through the increased re-use of silicon wafers within their production processes. Furthering our customer’s cost savings NanoSILICON, Inc. goes a step further by offering in house reclaim services. Using the latest polishing and wafer reclaim technologies, the San Jose based NanoSILICON, Inc. is well prepared and strategically positioned to provide customers higher quality silicon substrates and services at a competitive price.
Our mission
What we envision
As a service organization, we are guided by our relentless focus on customer service. We strive to partner with our customers through unique and innovative solutions, product selection, and consistency.
Our vision is to be a recognized performance leader in the Silicon wafer market. We constantly strive to implement critical initiatives required to achieve our vision by operational excellence, unparalleled customer service, and a dynamic environment for our employees.
