The Silicon Chip which has emerged as a boon to the Electronic Industry, prompted us in setting up an exclusive factory for manufacturing High Purity Silica Power for catering distinctly to Global semi-conductor market. Chettinad Morimua Semiconductor Material Private Limited was established in 1991, started its manufacturing activity in 1993. Plant is located at 25kms from Chennai, India. It is a 100% Export Oriented Unit, equipped with dedicated manufacturing lines having the latest Japanese Technology to produce High Purity Silica Powder exceptionally for the Electronic Industry.

The company sources the quartz material from its own resources of more than 90 mines with profuse reserves and also from approved private mine owners which would last for more than two decades, spread all over Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh to comply with the production demand / capacity at any point time

Awards and Prize for overall performance, Personal Protective Equipment

Welfare Amenities and Medical Facilities, Injury Rate Performance, Overall performance for Open Cast Mining,

Ship to Stock status and Best supplier Award for our Major Products from our Prestigious customers of Global reputation.

Our future plan of action will be based on these lines:

To further increase the capacity and improve the market share.

To maintain the reputation as a Dependable, Continuous consistent Quality Product raw material supplier, in the semi-conductor filler Industry.

Developing the line products with appropriate R&D facility to continuously bring down the cost of the roduct, by upgrading the lower grade Raw Material via beneficial methods. We are in the process of evolving the highly dedicated state of the art technology to manufacture metal free product at 20µm level, which as a winning edge for precisely miniature applications through our in-house research.

We have the competent engineering acumen to produce ultra fine powder through the classification techniques.

The product can be supplied as per customers' requirement based on the particle size distribution. The standard products are from D 50 (APS) at 2µm to 35µm.

APPLICATION

The Product is utilised in semi-conductor industry and special glass making industry. The company is presently exporting to South Asian countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, China and Thailand.

Within the very short duration of 3 years in manufacturing activity, the unit has obtained ISO 9002 Certification from BVQI and has won many Environmental Friendly & Safety Awards. It has also obtained the ISO 14001:1996 environment management system certification from BVQI in March 2004.

Quartz (SiO2)

Quartz is the most common mineral on the surface of the Earth. It is found in nearly every geological environment and is at least a component of almost every rock type. Quartz is a crystalline form of silicon dioxide. (SiO2.) It is hard, brittle, transparent material with a density of 2649 kg /m3 and a melting point of 1432°C.

This naturally available quartz is mined by the company and processed for achieving the various size fractions as per customer's requirements.
