Global Solar Ingot Wafer Industry: Overview A solar ingot is a piece of pure material which is generally a metal that is molded into shape which is suitable for further processing. Ingots basically require another procedure for shaping such as hot or cold working, milling, and cutting to manufacture a useful end product. Semiconductor and non-metallic materials which are prepared in a bulk form, are also known as ingots, especially when they cast by methods which are mold based. A wafer is also referred to as a substrate or slice of semiconductor material, for instance, crystalline silicon, which is used in electronics for the purpose of fabrication of the integrated circuits. It is mainly used in a photovoltaic for water-based, conventional solar cells. These wafers serve as substrates for microelectronic devices which is built over and in the wafer and also undergoes several microfabrication processes such as photolithographic patterning, deposition of materials, etching, ion i...
