Photovoltaic and semiconductor chips are two different concepts, relatively speaking, semiconductor chips are more widely used.
Photovoltaic refers to the use of solar power to generate electricity, while semiconductor chips refer to the core hard components of hardware devices, which can be computer chips or mobile phone chips.
Photovoltaic (PV), the abbreviation of Solar power system, is a new type of power generation system that uses the photovoltaic effect of the semiconductor material of the solar cell to directly convert the solar radiation into electric energy.
chip (chip), also known as integrated circuit (English integrated circuit, abbreviated as IC), or microcircuit (microcircuit), microchip, chip in electronics is a way to miniaturize circuits (mainly including semiconductor devices, but also including passive components, etc.). And is often manufactured on the surface of semiconductor wafers. A photovoltaic system contains multiple chips.
The minimum purity requirement for semiconductor monocrystalline silicon is 1000 times that of photovoltaic monocrystalline silicon
Photovoltaic monocrystalline silicon wafer is square, mainly side length 125mm, 150mm, 156mm types.
Monocrystalline silicon wafers for semiconductors are round, with diameter sizes of 150mm (6-inch wafer), 200mm (8-inch wafer), and 300mm (12-inch wafer). In terms of purity, the purity of the photovoltaic monocrystal silicon sheet requires the silicon content to be between 4N-6N (99.99%-99.9999%), but the semiconductor monocrystal silicon sheet is 9N.
Photovoltaic uses solar panels to absorb sunlight energy to generate electricity, photovoltaic power generation is clean renewable energy, generally built in the wilderness, no one, sunny place.
Semiconductor chip is the microcircuit integrated on the chip, belongs to the world's high-tech, in the digital electronics has a broad space for development, who master the semiconductor chip cutting-edge technology, will be the electronics industry leader.
Photovoltaic and semiconductor industries are the same, they all need to use \"silicon\
When investors look at concept stocks, some companies may just be semiconductors, some may be photovoltaics, and some may have both, in this case belonging to the photovoltaic superimposed semiconductor industry. Whether it is photovoltaic or semiconductor, it is inseparable from \"silicon\
