NORTH BRANCH, N.J., May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Voltaix(R), LLC, a leading
manufacturer of specialty materials for the semiconductor and photovoltaic
industries, today announced expansion of its germane manufacturing capacity to
meet growing demands in the solar and semiconductor industries. Voltaix's
continuous improvement efforts in the germane plant in its North Branch, NJ
facility have increased throughput by more than 200%. In addition, Voltaix
plans to complete the installation and commissioning of a second, previously
constructed state-of-the-art skid-mounted germane production plant. This new
production plant, which will be operated at a new site, has a capacity that is
approximately three times that of the current plant. The new plant is
expected to be operating within 15 months. These capacity expansions will
increase Voltaix germane manufacturing capacity to more than 50 tons per year.

redundancy our current and future customers need to support growth of their
germane-based manufacturing technologies. Germanium significantly improves
thin film solar device efficiencies, enables strained silicon technologies for
computer CPUs, and is central to newly emerging germanium channel and gate
applications. We are committed to serving the market needs for germane
through continuous improvement of our capacity, supply chain redundancy, and
product quality."
