This data-file captures silicon carbide production costs: spanning from materials grade SiC ($1,500/ton marginal cost, 5 tons/ton CO2 intensity) through to SiC wafers that are used in the electronics industry…
Silicon carbide power electronics will jolt the energy transition forwards, displacing silicon, and improving the efficiency of most new energies by 1-10 pp. Hence we wonder if this disruptor will…
…substrate; coating the nano-wires with a first silicon layer; then coating the nano-wires with a second, differently shaped silicon layer). Manufacturing costs of Amprius’ silicon anode batteries can be guessed,…

…chain for semiconductors starts with silica mining (350MTpa globally), then production of silicon metal (8.5MTpa globally) in an arc furnace; then 99.999% pure polysilicon (1MTpa globally) via the Siemens process…
Nexwafe technology review. Nexwafe is developing a next-generation PV silicon technology called the EpiWafer process, growing standalone silicon wafers onto mono-crystalline seed wafers, with no need to slice ingots and…
Sila Nanotechnologies was founded in Silicon Valley in 2011, to develop smaller and denser batteries, using silicon-comprising nano-particles in the battery anodes. Thus it claims to have made “the biggest…
