Chip Zero co-innovation projects

Chemistry plays a key role in the fabrication of chips and the project “New chemistries for resource efficient semiconductor manufacturing” aims to improve the sustainability of semiconductor manufacturing from the chemistry point of view. The project will focus on the development, modelling, and testing of new chemistries and processes for semiconductor industry.

The project is led by professors Maarit Karppinen and Antti Karttunen from the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science at Aalto University.

The industrial partners include Applied Materials in Finland (Picosun), PiBond and Volatec.

Do you want to know more about our current co-innovation projects or do you have an innovative project idea which is related to the R&D themes in the Zero Chip Ecosystem, and you would be interested to start a new co-innovation project?

The aim of the co-innovation project is to boost the circularity for semiconductor manufacturing processes to achieve “Chip with zero lifetime emissions” by for example:
•  Develop in-depth understanding of the global semiconductor supply chains’ eco-efficiency
•  Develop new strategies and solutions for material recovery, recycling and industrial reuse
•  Focus on high value and critical materials and water management

The project is led by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland with company partners Applied Materials in Finland (Picosun), Eurajoki Group, Murata and Sofi Filtration.
