Schmid Silicon Technology GmbH

The Schmid Silicon Technology Holding GmbH (SSTH), founded in September of 2009, headquartered in Freudenstadt, Germany is the leading Holding organization with its related parties the Schmid Silicon Technology GmbH (SST), the Schmid Polysilicon Production GmbH (SPP) and the Schmid Silicon Engineering GmbH (SSE).

Headquartered in the southern part of Germany, the Schmid Silicon Technology GmbH (SST) is the leading technology provider with respect to high-end solar- (and, if demanded, electronic-) grade polysilicon and monosilane gas production as well as plant engineering (turnkey).

• Founded in 2006 by Christian Schmid, SST is just about to enter into a strong growth phase.
• With the construction start of the unique pilot line production in "Schwarze Pume",Saxony, SST sets a standard as the leading technology supplier:
  
  • The factory is planned to start the monosilane and polysilicon production in 2011
  • Full profitable production scale of 540t Monosilane (signed 10 year contract with Linde AG)
  • Worldwide unique pilot factory allows for optimal technology design and continuous improvement process as well as new technological innovations
• SST together with M+W Group as the general contractor takes over the planning and realization of Turnkey Plants for the polysilicon and monosilane production (starting with the basic design and ends up with the qualification of the key staff and after sales services)
• SST is the only equipment supplier investing in its own technology at the pilot plant in Saxony
• In addition to the realization of the Turnkey Plants, SST supplies Single-Equipment for the polysilicon production:
• Upgrade of existing polysilicon productions with single equipment
• Integration of single equipment in existing cell and wafer productions

Based on proprietary technology, SST sells single equipment and complete plants for the highly efficient production of polysilicon. SST will enable polysilicon-producers to realize cost reductions of up to 30% compared to traditional production methods.

The unique Schmid-technology is based on a secured IP portfolio:

• The key technologies are secured via comprehensive patent portfolio
• Is worldwide the only pilot factory realizing the optimized technology
• Continious improvement process as well as new technological innovations are a fact

• CVD Bell Jar Reactor
• FBR
• PTR
• Si-Cleaning
• Filament-Cleaning

Total solutions for:

• Monosilane
• Polysilicon
• UMGSi
• Upgrade of exsiting Siemens-based Si-plants

• Monosilane (10 year contract with Linde AG)
• Polysilicon production with long term contract
• R & D for internal and external customers
