Is their any blogs or videos about how these ingots are produced? The cost of blank wafers for a hobbyist is just so steep that im looking into making my own silicone blank wafers.

- ahazred8ta 2y agoPrices for 8 inch 200mm silicon wafers are under $50, and the smaller ones are even cheaper.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoLast time I checked (about 10 years ago), 300mm wafers of decent purity were about $20. If 200mm wafers are now $50, this is big business.
- HPsquared 2y agoWhat's the value of the completed chips from a 300mm wafer?
- pclmulqdq 2y agoNvidia GPUs are about $1 million per 300mm wafer. $100,000+ per wafer of chips is generally not out of the question.
