Montco company turns old silicon into new chips; a Montco Silicon Technologies wafer costs a fraction of what a new chip would cost, the Royersford firm says

Article Abstract:

The business of selling used rather than 'prime,' unused silicon wafers is thought to be between $50 million and $100 million per year because the recycled wafers cost about one-fourth as much as new, and have many applications. The market segment is growing faster than the market for new wafers.
