HOPKINTON, Mass., May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- EFC Gases & Advanced Materials, a leader in the
development and supply of electronic and specialty gases and
chemical precursors, is proud to announce its membership in the
Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC), managed by
SEMI®. This partnership underscores EFC's
commitment to environmental sustainability and its dedication to
reducing the ecological impact of semiconductor manufacturing.
The SCC is an outgrowth of the SEMI®
Sustainability Initiative and is the first global, ecosystem-wide
effort to advance the semiconductor industry's response to climate
change. The SCC vision is to accelerate progressive climate action
with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C as outlined in
the Paris Agreement. As a new member, EFC will collaborate with
other industry leaders to develop and implement new technologies
and methodologies that aim to significantly curb carbon emissions
and mitigate other environmental impacts of semiconductor
production.
"EFC's commitment to sustainability is a core aspect of our
corporate mission," said Pavel
Perlov, President and CEO of EFC. "Joining the SCC allows us
to share our innovative approaches—such as our neon gas recycling
system—learn from our peers and help propel the entire
semiconductor industry towards a more sustainable future."
The consortium includes some of the world's most influential
technology companies, and EFC is poised to play a vital role in
this collective. Through this collaboration, EFC aims to not
only enhance its own sustainable practices but also contribute to
the industry-wide efforts to address climate change.
"EFC's focus on developing low global warming potential
(low-GWP) chemistries for critical etching applications will be
valuable as we work together to achieve our environmental goals,"
stated Mousumi Bhat, Vice President
of Sustainability at SEMI®. "Their engagement with SCC
is a significant step forward for our industry's commitment to the
planet."
EFC will begin participating in SCC working groups immediately,
contributing to ongoing projects and initiatives aimed at reducing
the environmental impact of semiconductor manufacturing. For more
