PragmatIC Semiconductor leads £2.4 million project to develop sustainable manufacturing technologies
- Date 1 Nov 2022
PragmatIC Semiconductor, a world leader in flexible electronics, today announces it is leading a £2.4 million project with funding provided by the Made Smarter Innovation: Smart Sustainable Factory Challenge at UK Research and Innovation. The INSPIRE project will develop and deploy new digital technologies within PragmatIC’s FlexLogIC® semiconductor fabrication facilities, to drive improved resource efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing operations.
Sustainability to become a measure of fab performance
Specifically, the funding will focus on innovation that will help to accelerate the decarbonisation of semiconductor manufacturing, by optimising the consumption, quality, and recovery of resources across wafer processing, tools, and facilities. The smart factory approaches developed will demonstrate how sustainability can become a measure of fab performance by manufacturers globally.
Scott White, CEO of PragmatIC Semiconductor added “We have already developed semiconductor devices that are significantly more cost-effective and sustainable than traditional silicon chips – and now we are excited to lead the way in new manufacturing technologies that will reduce our environmental impact even further. Ultimately, we aim to develop and define best-in-class sustainable semiconductor manufacturing practices, to accelerate decarbonisation and improve resource efficiency within the industry.”
