Sustainability in microelectronics manufacturing is rapidly moving from a niche interest to a major pillar of business planning. Forward-thinking device makers, materials suppliers, and equipment manufacturers understand sustainable manufacturing is good for the environment, good for community relations, and makes economic sense, with many using their positive environmental performance as a product differentiator.

As global and regional governments adopt new environmental requirements and regulations, companies on the forefront of sustainability will be the ones who benefit. Key industry trends driving sustainable manufacturing purchasing decisions include: 

 
  • Energy efficiency
  • Environmental impact
  • Pollution control
  • Climate protection
  • Water conservation
  • Conflict minerals
 
  • Resource conservation
  • Safety and ergonomics
  • Introduction of new and exotic process materials
  • Customer and regulatory compliance requirements

Sustainable manufacturing is also rapidly growing as a major pillar of SEMICON West. SEMICON West 2015 will feature the Sustainable Manufacturing Pavilion, the Sustainable Manufacturing Forum, and presentation of the Sustainable Technologies Award. 

Sustainable Manufacturing Pavilion

Located in North Hall and near the Sustainable Manufacturing Forum, the Sustainable Manufacturing Pavilion will showcase companies providing unique products, technologies, and solutions for sustainable manufacturing in areas including energy efficiency, water conservation and waste processing, pollution control and abatement, and safety/ergonomics. Pavilion exhibitors will enjoy additional exclusive benefits, including pavilion-specific marketing promotions, networking events, and presentation opportunities.
