What does it take to track millions of details, construct extremely pure environments, and build a new fab from scratch? This webinar brought together some of the most experienced leaders involved in fab construction, as well as thought leaders in artificial intelligence, the digital transformation, and offsite manufacturing.

New ESG goals, emerging contaminants, and regulatory drivers impose new constraints on facilities. How can facilities crack the code in balancing competing targets related to water circularity, chemicals usage, energy consumption, and gas emissions, when facilities are only becoming more resource-intensive? This webinar will bring experts to bring vital awareness to water stewardship, reducing energy and emissions, and tool design for sustainability.

Consumer demand for longer-lasting chips also puts pressure on contamination control needs. Quality specifications are harder than ever to meet, and they will only become more stringent. Presented in this webinar is some of the most cutting-edge research related to yield enhancement for liquid chemicals and water.

Speakers from Samsung, Intel, SCREEN, and FTD Solutions speak about why the semiconductor industry's resource consumption is dramatically increasing, as well as the water-energy relationship and other interrelated priorities which impact decision-making about sustainability.

A Global Water Intelligence analysis of water-related capital expenditure, ambitious end-user sustainability goals, and technologies for reuse in the microelectronics industry.

A discussion of how the production of new complex devices is causing complications for the construction and operation of huge new semiconductor facilities.

Unprecedented demand for semiconductor products is compelling the construction of larger, more complex facilities which consume increasing quantities of energy and water.

Intel, LotusWorks, Evoqua and FTD Solutions discuss the microelectronics fab construction boom, the expertise shortage, supply chain bottlenecks, and long lead times.

Held in May 2022, this is the second meeting in the UPM Community Event Series 'Deconstructing the Challenges of Facility 2.0'

Presentation given at April 7th 2022 online UPM Community event.
