Objective:
The output of highly pure semiconductor silicon for integrated circuits and memories is increasing year by year. During wafer production process, about 60% (2,400 tons) of silicon, ingot after trimming, is scrapped with the waste water disposal from cutting and polishing. The recycling to highly pure silicon is very costly. If the silicon sludge can be converted to nitride-based structural ceramics (SiAlON), it is helpful for semiconductor industry and ecological problems.
