The semiconductor industry has increasingly ambitious sustainability goals. Eco efficiency goals are sometimes difficult to achieve in tandem with each other. For example, high water recovery requires more energy and chemicals. Additional energy also requires more evaporation water in the cooling towers. A modelling tool will be introduced to study scenarios to keep water and energy efficiency in balance and what impact it has on other boundary conditions. Improvements will require a different mindset in the future since potential solutions are multi-disciplinary and require cooperation of many different stake holders in the fab.

Conserving energy and water through recapture and recirculation of hot UPW
Current "one-pass" industry practices around generation and application of hot ultra-pure water (hot-UPW) consume large amounts of energy to generate the hot-UPW input, and also use the resulting water inefficiently. This presentation showcases engineered solutions to improve efficiency of hot-UPW water use, greatly reducing consumption of hot UPW without any impact to the process.

The value of wastewater
A study on how back grinding and dicing waste water are good low-hanging fruit candidates for short circuit reclaim or at least raw water substitution. Both approaches keep the water body within the fab and have huge cost benefit over simple discharge of the highly valuable permeate.
