Taiwan
- Unitech PCB,
which is diversifying into the photovoltaic industry, is seeking a long-term
contract for silicon wafers to sustain supply in an industry-wide material
shortage.
According
to Digitimes magazine, Unitech has authorized chairman Chang Pen-tsao to sign a
contract for silicon wafer supply. The company said it is holding talks with
suppliers and no specific terms have been determined. The PCB manufacturer is
investing over $30.74 million to build a solar cell plant in Taiwan's
northeastern county of Yilan, and the company expects the plant to start volume
production in mid 2008.
The
company reportedly has already secured a six to 12 month short-term supply of
solar grade silicon wafers. |
