- Wafer Works (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. is a China-based semiconductor materials manufacturing company that specializes in the research, development, production, and sale of advanced silicon wafer products. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Shanghai, China, the company operates as a key subsidiary of Taiwan-based Wafer Works Corporation. The company manufactures and supplies a comprehensive portfolio of silicon substrate products, including: 150mm (6-inch), 200mm (8-inch), and 300mm (12-inch) semiconductor epitaxial wafers across N-type and P-type configurations; heavily doped and lightly doped prime polished silicon wafers; single-crystal silicon ingots; and custom wafer manufacturing and processing services comprising monocrystalline ingot pulling, wire slicing, chemical mechanical polishing, high-precision epitaxial layer deposition, and cleanroom metrology inspection. Its silicon substrates serve as foundational materials for power discrete devices, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), superjunction devices, analog integrated circuits, power management ICs (PMICs), and microcontrollers. The company serves semiconductor foundries, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), and packaging entities across domestic and international markets, including Greater China, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and North America, supporting end-use applications in automotive electronics, industrial automation, green energy infrastructure, telecommunications, and consumer devices. In recent developments, Wafer Works (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. completed its initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange Science and Technology Innovation Board (STAR Market) under ticker 688584 in February 2024 to fund capital expenditure and R&D initiatives. The company has subsequently advanced the commercialization and volume production of its 300mm (12-inch) automotive-grade and low-defect epitaxial wafers, expanded manufacturing infrastructure across its facilities in Shanghai, Zhengzhou, and Yangzhou, and deepened strategic supply partnerships with tier-one semiconductor fabricators to address growing demand for high-reliability automotive and industrial power semiconductors.
