Chip Zero

Shaping the Future of Finnish Semiconductor Industry

Chip with Zero Lifetime Emissions

Chip Zero  aims to create the first semiconductor ecosystem in Finland with a mission to develop chips with zero lifetime emissions. The aim is to lower the deposition emissions of semiconductor manufacturing by 50% and increase the handprint of chips by double digit percentages by 2030, thus leading to an overall zero lifetime emission.

Research and Development Themes of Chip Zero

Chip Zero aims to address global challenges:

Developing resource-efficient semiconductor manufacturing equipment, processes and materials

Designing and manufacturing thin film deposition systems with focus on ALD systems.

Boosting circularity by linking value chains to closed resource cycles

Making an impact on the consumption of most significant hazardous chemicals, selection of most environmentally friendly chemicals and energy flows.

Increasing the handprint of electrification through increased efficiency and scalability

Increasing the positive environmental aspects of semiconductor components, with focus on power components and different aspects of electrification.

Building a Finnish semiconductor ecosystem

Building the Chip Zero ecosystem in Finland and steering it to achieve results with high impact.
