An emerging silicon wafer manufacturer for the solar & semiconductor industry. With a fully integrated global supply chain, we produce silicon wafers for local solar cell manufacturing.
QSM is creating a domestic supply chain for the critical inputs of high-purity quartz sand, quartz crucibles, polysilicon and silicon ingots.
QSM’s end-to-end control of materials and manufacturing is an alternative to the Asia-centric solar supply chain.
By developing silicon wafer production facilities in the U.S., Australia, and Europe, QSM will help reduce national reliance on imported materials.
QSM’s secured quartz mineral deposits are processed into high-purity quartz sand.
QSM Ausquartz develops specially designed quartz crucibles used in crystal growth furnaces.
QSM Southland Silicon Materials is developing the worlds first green silicon-metal smelter and polysilicon plant.
Ingots are grown in specialised furnaces using the Czochralski process (CZ) creating ingots for wafers.
Sliced from the ingots, these thin wafers are the fundamental building blocks for the solar cells used in solar panels.
