Polysilicon, also known as polycrystalline silicon or poly-Si, is a high-purity form of silicon with multiple crystal structures, which makes it a fundamental component in the manufacturing processes of various industries. It comprises material properties similar to single crystal silicon and can be doped by introducing impurities. It is manufactured from grains that tend to increase in size with a rise in film thickness during the high-temperature manufacturing steps. It is an ideal interconnect when used with titanium to form a low-resistivity suicide. It plays a vital role in photovoltaic (PV) module production and serves as the base material for solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. It assists in producing solar modules through various processes, such as the purification of raw silicon, deposition into ingots or wafers, subsequent slicing, and processing into solar cells. As it is used in the production of semiconductor devices, such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits, the demand for polysilicon is rising across the globe.
At present, the rising demand for polysilicon to manufacture multicrystalline solar panels represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing number of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations due to the increasing demand for clean energy and need to reduce carbon emissions across the globe is offering a favorable market outlook. Moreover, the escalating demand for monocrystalline solar panels that can be installed on rooftops in residential areas is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, there is a rise in the utilization of solar mini grids to provide electricity access to people in remote areas around the world. This, coupled with the growing employment of polysilicon as a resistor and to assure ohmic contacts for hollow junctions, is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, there is an increase in the demand for polysilicon, as it is known to work well in high-temperature processing and junctions efficiently. This, along with the rising demand for heavily doped polysilicon due to its high resistivity compared to single-crystal silicon, is strengthening the growth of the market. Additionally, the increasing usage of consumer electronics, such as TVs, PCs, tablets, smartphones, wearables, speakers and headphones, digital cameras, and gaming consoles, is bolstering the growth of the market.
