The HaloFreeEtch project aims to significantly impact both the semiconductor industry and the environment by eliminating the use of harmful halogenated compounds in etching processes. This reduction in ecological footprint aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable practices.
The project will enhance the European semiconductor industry’s competitiveness by developing cutting-edge, environmentally compliant technologies, essential as the EU enforces stricter regulations on fluorochemicals. This innovation will lower costs and improve compliance with environmental standards.
Furthermore, the project will establish a sustainability assessment model to track carbon footprints and energy consumption, setting new standards for eco-friendly process development in electronics.
In summary, HaloFreeEtch will drive sustainable and competitive advancements in semiconductor manufacturing, positioning Europe at the forefront of technological innovation.
