By 2030, global semiconductor production is expected to be almost twice as high as it is today. To mitigate the negative environmental impact, 58 European partners in the EU GENESIS project have set themselves the goal of developing more environmentally friendly materials and processes in the semiconductor industry. As part of the project, Fraunhofer EMFT researchers are working on optimizing exhaust gas purification methods and increasing the efficiency and environmental sustainability of production processes.
