Wafer Works (Zhengzhou) Corporation, based in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone in central China's Henan Province, has developed the country's largest silicon wafers through continuous research and innovation.

"Electronic-grade polysilicon wafers require extremely high purity. Surface flatness and particle control are also critical. A speck of dust, just one six-thousandth the width of a human hair, can render a wafer defective," said a staff member of the company.

Wafer Works, which began operations in the zone in 2017, has helped fill a gap in the local semiconductor industry and is now a major domestic base for silicon wafer production.

The company's growth underscores the expansion of the electronic information industry in the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone, which has attracted leading firms such as Foxconn and xFusion over the past decade.
