Central Quang Tri province is seeking to attract high-tech materials manufacturing projects, including a proposed VND100 billion ($3.8 million) Vietnam Wafer plant producing high-purity quartz crucibles.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Duc Tien recently chaired a meeting with Vietnam Wafer JSC and Japan’s Kanematsu Corporation to discuss plans for the project and the province’s strategy for attracting building materials and high-tech materials projects.

Vietnam Wafer presented plans for its high-purity quartz crucible manufacturing plant, a component project under the second phase of the Vietnam Wafer Semiconductor Materials Manufacturing Complex.

The proposed plant would be located in Quang Ngang Industrial Park and the Southeast Quang Tri Economic Zone, covering approximately 1.5 hectares with estimated investment of VND100 billion.

The facility would manufacture high-purity quartz crucibles used in producing silicon crystal ingots for the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries, as well as high-end optical lenses.

The products require exceptionally high levels of purity and advanced manufacturing technology. The project is expected to help Quang Tri gradually strengthen its participation in supply chains for semiconductor materials and other high-tech industries.

The proposed investment is also expected to contribute to the development of a high-tech materials manufacturing ecosystem in the province and attract further investment in related industries.
