Daqo New Energy Corp. company makes polysilicon, a material used in making solar panels. (Polysilicon is also used in making semiconductors, but Daqo New Energy focuses its production purely on the growing solar power market.) It sells the raw material to photovoltaic product manufacturers, who use it to make components such as solar cells, wafers, ingots, and modules. Daqo New Energy has a production capacity of 3,300 metric tons (MT) of polysilicon at its plant in China, and its top three customers -- Yingli Green Energy, ReneSola, and a subsidiary of Suntech -- account for almost 90% of sales. The company began production in 2008 and filed to go public in early 2010.

Silicon Logic Engineering (SLE) provides services for designing application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), including the creation of ready-made semiconductor intellectual property (SIP) "blocks" that can be incorporated into chip designs.
