The roads toward a sustainable semiconductor industry (Keynote Presentation)
24 February 2025 • 3:50 PM - 4:30 PM PST
Abstract
The semiconductor industry must address the dual impact of digital technology with a comprehensive approach to overcome growth challenges while ensuring sustainability. This approach is crucial for balancing the environmental benefits and demands of rapid technological expansion. To support this, several collaborative programs funded by Horizon Europe are focusing on making semiconductor manufacturing more sustainable. These initiatives aim to align with the European Green Deal by implementing eco-friendly technologies and practices. By integrating innovations and adopting sustainable processes, the industry can reduce its environmental footprint and advance towards long-term sustainability. This holistic strategy will enable the semiconductor sector to meet its growth objectives while addressing increasing environmental constraints effectively.
