At Hemlock Semiconductor (HSC), we transform people’s lives by energizing and connecting our world through silicon technology. Since 1961, HSC has been a leading global provider of hyper-pure polysilicon, and is the only polysilicon manufacturer headquartered in the United States. HSC plays an essential role in the semiconductor and solar industries, with the vision of becoming the preferred supplier of silicon-enabled technologies to the low-carbon, digital world.
Our polysilicon is used to make computer chips – the “brains” behind the electronic devices we rely on to make our lives easier, safer and more enjoyable. HSC is just one of six major manufacturers in the world that makes polysilicon used to create semiconductor wafers. In fact, nearly all electronic devices in the world contain HSC polysilicon.
We’re also moving the world toward a greener future by supplying the rapidly growing solar power industry. HSC is committed to doing good for our local Michigan and global communities, relentlessly improving our operations to remove supply chain carbon emissions. The low embodied greenhouse gas emissions in our polysilicon materials facilitates the production of ultra low-carbon solar panels. These panels allow solar project developers and owners to lower the embodied carbon of their projects by up to 50 percent.
To achieve our goals, we draw on the talents of more than 1,350 employees and contractors. Our employees thrive in a culture that values teamwork, excellence, responsibility and customer focus. We recognize and value the diverse backgrounds and experiences of all of our people working together as One Team. At HSC, you belong to a team that is transforming our world.
Summary
Polysilicon Samples Collection and Testing. Collection of 5 kg bags from S475 bench. Log in information into Sample Manager. Deliver the 5 kg to S23 and prepare the samples for surface testing (metals, surface carbon, canty samples etc.). Log information into Sample Manager. Liquid Samples Collection and Testing. Obtain liquid samples from the S475 bench for composition and metals testing. The composition analysis will be performed in the S475 laboratory; the results will be loaded into the Sample Manager. The liquid samples are to be delivered from S475 to S23. The liquid samples are to be analyzed from trace-level metals by the S475 technician using the indicated method and the designated ICPMS—the results are to be loaded into the Sample Manager. Coupons Collection and Testing. The lab technician will collect and replace the coupons used in some baths on the bench to measure etching efficiency.
