" 2020 was characterized by a surge in digitization triggered by the corona pandemic , which lead to a slightly higher than expected demand for silicon wafers . Average selling prices ( ASP ) per wafer area were lower than in 2019. In H2 2020 , sales and earnings were additionally burdened by the strength of the Euro , particu- larly against the US dollar . In this environment , we focused on further strengthening our technological capa- bilities and increasing our productivity . The health of our workforce has always been in our focus during the pandemic , " said Dr. Christoph von Plotho , CEO of Siltronic AG .
