Sino-American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS), founded in 1981, is the leading and the first public company specializing in the manufacturing of medium-and small-diameter silicon wafers in Taiwan. SAS possesses all of the technology required for silicon ingot growth, slicing, etching, diffusing, polishing, epitaxial and Sapphire wafer fabrication. The products can be applied in the field of Discrete, Optoelectronic, Analog and Photo Voltaic. SAS is also pursuing the business of high value-added products such as: CZ/FZ/NTD Silicon ingots, Epi wafers, Polished wafers, Antimony-doped wafers, Arsenic-doped wafers, Etched wafers, TVS wafers, Ultra thin wafers, Heavily diffused wafers, Solar ingot and wafers and Sapphire wafers. These products are sold both to well-known domestic companies and internationally, including China, Japan, Korea, Europe, and America. SAS established Kunshan Sino Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. in the PRC during 1999. SAS is also the first producer of high-quality solar ingots. Responding to market demand, SAS' branch company in Chunan (SSC), Taiwan, set up in 2005, formally produced high-quality solar mono ingots and wafers in the second quarter of 2006. To meet the emerging market trends of multi crystal, SSC started to develop and successfully mass produce solar multi ingots and wafers in the fourth quarter of 2006. SAS becomes one of the few manufacturers who possess not only solar mono crystal technology but also solar multi crystal technology in the global market. Furthermore, SSC established Optoelectronics Business Unit (OBU) to develop LED technology in 2007. Then, it started to have mass production of sapphire wafers in the third quarter of 2007. In June,2008, the strong-soaring demand from solar wafers lead to Fab.Ⅱ full utilization. In June,2009, SSC completed the construction of Fab.Ⅱ to materially expand the capacity threefold. SAS acquired American company Globitech (GTI) 100% shares on April 1, 2008. http://www.globitech.com/
