Q. Consider the following applications of Polysilicon:
1.Manufacturing of solar photovoltaic wafers
2.Production of semiconductor chips and memory devices
3.Manufacturing of power electronic devices such as MOSFETs and thyristors
4.Production of lithium-ion battery cathode materials
5.Manufacturing of cement and concrete as a major binding material
Which of the applications given above are associated with Polysilicon?

[A] 1, 2 and 3 only

[B] 1, 3 and 4 only

[C] 2, 4 and 5 only

[D] 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Answer: A

Notes:

Explanation: Polysilicon is an important upstream material for solar photovoltaic wafers and semiconductor manufacturing. It is also used in the production of power electronic devices such as MOSFETs and thyristors. Lithium-ion battery cathodes and cement/concrete are not applications of polysilicon.
