In this talk, we will delve into the challenges faced by material suppliers in the semiconductor industry, as they navigate the balance between technological advancement and the growing demand for a greener value chain. While wafer processing technology has experienced rapid progress, it has also resulted in a significant increase in emissions. However, both societal needs and regulatory movements are pushing for a more sustainable semiconductor industry. We believe in the importance of innovation as an essential attribute that successful suppliers must possess to address this challenge effectively. Ultimately, we can only advance digital living if life is sustainable.
