(Asslar, May 20, 2008) - PVA TePla Danmark, Frederikssund, a branch
of PVA TePla AG, Asslar, and a manufacturer of float-zone crystal
growing systems, has received an order from a Taiwanese silicon
manufacturer to supply slim-rod pullers and analysis systems. The
order is worth over EUR 5 million. The systems will be delivered to
the customer during 2009.

The Danish branch of PVA TePla specializes in the manufacture of
float-zone crystal growing systems, with which largely high-purity,
monocrystalline silicon rods can be manufactured, for example for
high-frequency applications in the semiconductor industry and for
highly efficient photovoltaic wafers. However, float-zone systems are
also a key element in the production chain for the manufacture of
polysilicon as a basic material for wafers. In the system type
ordered by the customer in Taiwan, thin silicon rods, on which the
high-purity silicon is subsequently deposited during the production
process in the reactor, are manufactured. In the additionally
supplied analysis systems, the quality and purity of the produced
polysilicon are examined by converting the material to a
monocrystalline structure.

Further sales opportunities for float-zone systems are arising as a
result of the global build-up of additional production capacity for
polysilicon.
