Progress in Sustainability: Will it be Enough?

Progress in Sustainability has become one of SEMI’s key focus points in supporting its members. It was initiated with a series of keynotes at SEMICON West in 2019, followed by the formation of the SEMI Sustainability Initiative, to help bring focus to the Startups for Sustainability venture capital programs. And...

Sustainability 101: Sustainability Starts with Design

You may be familiar with the concept of Design for Manufacturing or Design for Manufacturability. I suspect that many 3D InCites readers have given less thought to Design for Sustainability (DfS). Why does DfS matter? It is essential to design with sustainability in mind because choices in materials, processes, and...

Materials Science Solutions for Electronics Sustainability

This summer, the temperature reached 111°F in Silicon Valley, where I live. This historical record unmistakably brought home the “inconvenient truth”: global warming is upon us, for real – not in the future, but right here, right now. It is incumbent on each and every one of us, in society...

Semiconductor Sustainability Efforts Need Collaboration

During the recent Applied Materials/SEMI Sustainability Forum, panelists touched on the fact that the big drivers of electronics — Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Facebook — are looking to cut carbon emissions across their supply chains. From a semiconductor perspective, this would include the energy and greenhouse gases used in...

Sustainability 101, The Product Lifecycle: Sustainability and the Supply Chain

Sustainability should start in the design phase. When engineers consider environmental impact during product design, they may be able to avoid toxic materials, reduce solvent and water use, improve energy efficiency during manufacturing, and make it easier to recover components at the end of the product’s life. But a design...

What You Need to Know About Sustainability in Semiconductors

While the global spotlight is shining on the importance of sustainability in semiconductors, the concept itself is not new. As early as 2003, when the European Union adopted the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, semiconductor manufacturing companies started to become more aware of their impact on the environment and launched...

ISS Europe 2021 Tackles Digital Transformation and Sustainability

While I am very dedicated to my role as a blogger for the semiconductor industry, there is one thing to which I am more dedicated: A good night’s sleep. So for the Live days of ISS Europe 2021, I only attended the panel discussions that were scheduled at 7 am...
