Abstract
The impact of human activity on the environment is well documented. While citizens and responsible leaders aim at a more sustainable future, it is our duty as industrial companies to examine our products portfolio from its life cycle perspective. A promising approach is to use sustainable manufacturing technologies, that minimize negative environmental impact, while boosting the product benefits towards decarbonization objectives. This paper enriches our earlier description (Nicoleau et al., 2023) of STMicroelectronics approach in developing sustainable technologies. It starts by examining the global context while putting in perspective the definition of responsible products. Then we will go through the different phases of the product lifecycle by illustrating the involved processes during technology development and product manufacturing. And we will complete our Life Cycle Assessment methodology by illustrating the efforts in striving to reduce our ecological footprint towards our ambition of carbon neutrality by 2027.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing addresses the challenging problems of manufacturing complex microelectronic components, especially very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Manufacturing these products requires precision micropatterning, precise control of materials properties, ultraclean work environments, and complex interactions of chemical, physical, electrical and mechanical processes.
