Embed sustainability into semiconductor operations

Overview

Infosys Semiconductor practice helps our clients achieve environment, social and governance (ESG) goals. Our solutions minimize Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at silicon chip foundries, and create a sustainable supply chain ecosystem to mitigate Scope 3 emissions.

Infosys embeds ‘sustainability by design’ into product and enterprise strategies. It calibrates the trade-off between chip performance, cost of operations, and resources utilization. Significantly, it minimizes the environmental footprint by offering diverse options: prioritize sustainable sourcing, enhance products to rationalize resource consumption, transition to materials that are safer to use and easier to dispose, recover and recycle metals from scrapped PCBs and discarded microprocessors, and recover and repurpose uncontaminated / unreacted gases in wafer fabrication facilities. Notably, we partner with fabs to harness renewable energy for addressing the requirements of ultra-pure water processing plants, wastewater reclamation facilities, and physical as well as IT infrastructure.

Our ML-driven analytical modules combine technical, operational, equipment, and product lifecycle data to reduce per wafer carbon footprint. In addition, we leverage computer vision, IoT and EHS data systems for safeguarding the health and safety of employees in high-risk operating environments. Our solutions adhere to safety protocols, detect breaches and potential incidents, and enable risk / hazard mitigation. It also enables compliance with standards such as SEMI S2 EHS Guidelines for semiconductor manufacturing equipment and regulations for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or ‘forever chemicals’.
