Presentation Title:
Creating Sustainable and Smart Wafer Fabs for the Future
The world is digitally evolving at a rapid pace thus causing the demand of semiconductor chips to surge; chip producers are overtaking automakers as polluters soon. Majority of the growth is driven by data centers, computing and wireless communication and automotive. The global wafer production capacity is expected to increase by approximately 50% in 2030 and hence, the environmental cost will also rise along with it as higher amount of greenhouse gases will be emitted from chip manufacturing.
The responsibility to reduce the environmental impacts by the semiconductor industry does not just lie with chip producers alone. Everyone within the value chain needs to reduce the overall carbon footprint and Exyte is no different.
We recognize it is vital to provide more environmentally sustainable solutions to our wafer manufacturing clients and are embracing innovation and technology from our design to construction and operation of the wafer fabs. Thus, we excel in making these microelectronics fabs not only smarter but also greener to build and operate as well.
