This link will open in a new window MEMC Electronic Materials doesn't waver from its devotion to wafers. MEMC supplies silicon wafers to some of the world's leading semiconductor makers. The company makes wafers in sizes ranging from 100mm to 300mm -- 4 inches to 1 foot -- in diameter. In addition to its standard prime polished wafers, MEMC makes epitaxial wafers (which have an added layer of single-crystal silicon) for advanced chips, as well as lower-grade wafers used to test chip-making equipment and production lines. The company also makes solar-grade polysilicon, which goes into making photovoltaic solar cells. Solar wafers are becoming a fast-growing product for MEMC. Customers outside the US account for about three-fourths of sales. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc.
Demand comes largely from the manufacturers of durable goods like motor vehicles, machinery, containers, and construction steel. The profitability of individual companies depends largely on efficient operations, because most products are commodities sold based on price. Big companies have large economies of scale in production. Accordingly, most producers of secondary products buy raw metal from the large producers. Small companies can compete by operating efficient local mini-mills or producing specialty products. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is close to $300,000.
