Innovative Approaches for Enhancing Sustainability in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Access to potable water is a major global challenge. In many parts of the world, desalination is the only viable solution. However, this process is highly energy-intensive and requires significant chemical usage, creating serious environmental concerns.
But what if a simple improvement could make a difference?
Filtration, a critical component of desalination, has the potential to drive major change. By optimizing filtration systems, we can significantly reduce energy consumption and minimize chemical use, making desalination more sustainable and efficient.
And the impact goes beyond water. Filtration is also essential in the semiconductor industry, where even the smallest impurity can lead to costly defects. Here, too, better filtration management reduces chemical usage and, most importantly, enhances equipment uptime—leading to fewer interruptions and a more efficient production process.
This presentation will take you through these challenges and explore concrete solutions. It will highlight key environmental initiatives, including sustainability programs focused on CMP materials recycling, gas purifier regeneration, and packaging.
