Addressing Carbon Emissions in the Semiconductor Industry: A Two-Part Challenge
As demands for semiconductor technology continue to increase, so do the impacts of the semiconductor industry on the environment. As the climate crisis intensifies, the semiconductor industry faces a two-part problem:
- Design greener processes and technologies to reduce carbon emissions.
- Reduce carbon emissions from existing facilities.
