SunEdison Semiconductor
Operating Status: Acquired
SunEdison Semiconductor manufactured silicon wafers and engineered substrate materials for semiconductor device makers.
Founded
1959SunEdison Semiconductor manufactured silicon wafers and engineered substrate materials for semiconductor device makers.
Company materials describe wafer manufacturing across multiple regions with attention to defect control, surface topography, epitaxial deposition, and measurement. Successor GlobalWafers materials describe supply relationships across leading chip manufacturers and wafers as the foundation for computers.
Operating history of more than five decades in silicon wafer technology and multi-region production supported qualification cycles that typically favor established suppliers with long customer relationships today.

Silicon wafer volumes follow semiconductor fabrication demand across logic, memory, power, and analog segments, with diameter transitions and engineered substrates affecting mix. As a closed acquisition, this entity no longer operates independently; its wafer business continues within GlobalWafers MEMC alongside other plants.
Legacy solar exposure ended with the 2016 bankruptcy of the solar parent and is not part of the ongoing wafer operation tracked on this record at all.

SunEdison Semiconductor manufactured and sold silicon wafers to the semiconductor industry, with research and production in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The range covered polished and prime wafers, epitaxial wafers with deposited layers and contamination-control features.
Under the SunEdison group name the broader organization also supplied solar wafers and downstream photovoltaic products before the 2016 restructuring separated the semiconductor and solar paths for good.
