微米 is deeply committed to global sustainability initiatives. 追求更高效, cleaner ways of doing business runs throughout our 公司 and is well documented in our “Fast Forward: 2021 可持续性 Report.”
美光创投正在尽我们的一份力量, investing in earth-friendly and sustainability-oriented technologies such as 塔拉尼斯, 水膜, 多尺度技术. But there’s more to be done, we’re doing it...in new ways to speed up adoption of sustainable tech.
可持续发展创业公司 kicked off in 2021
其中一种方法是第一种 可持续发展创业公司 音调事件. The idea for this unique program was simple: Bring together the world’s largest semiconductor companies to create a unified, large-market opportunity to drive startup innovators 集中 on our industry. We collaborated with the venture teams from Intel, ASML, 应用材料, 林, 三星, 东京电子, Merck KGaA和KLA, as well as with venture capital partner Breakthrough Energy 合资企业, to identify shared needs and accelerate knowledge transfer across the industry.
The program considered the unique needs of each partner and set guiding parameters, 例如以下内容, 塑造约定:
- From corporations to startups: What are the market needs? How can startups best enter and ramp in semiconductor operations?
- From startups to corporations: How can our innovation work best in your operations? How can manufactures adapt to accommodate early-stage innovation in their facilities?
- Among the manufactures: What is working in our startup engagements? Are there gaps we can address together?
Then we scoured the globe for startups that offered sustainability solutions that we could put to use in the near term. In addition to being the first-of-its-kind 音调事件 for startups and the semiconductor industry, it is also the first that we know of where industry advisors were paired with semifinalists specifically to accelerate and deepen startup understanding of semiconductor customer needs.
然后选出决赛选手, representing the top teams out of hundreds who demonstrated that they are bold, 咄咄逼人的, 集中, early-stage teams taking on major industrial challenges in three areas:
- 清洁能源和能源效率
- 水的回收和再利用
- Sustainable materials innovation and process emissions reductions
Through our global 搜索, we’ve seen some wonderful innovation and promising technologies. 考虑到庞大的数量, it took a lot of work by many people to get to where we are now, but I’m excited to share the nine finalists for this first ever Startups for Semiconductor 可持续性 音调事件:
Here’s our take on semiconductor sustainability
Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the more resource-intensive human processes on the planet, but it’s also one of the most valuable and one whose influence is growing daily. 处理器, 内存, storage and connectivity are the backbone of our modern and future digital lives, powering everything from computers and smartphones to NFTs, cryptocurrencies and the metaverse (whatever that is!)
Even as we scale to meet today’s needs, we know we must push every boundary to scale sustainably to preserve the needs of tomorrow.
Everyone needs to do their part to tackle the sustainability challenge, 微米 is all in. 通过集体行动, 协作和快速, 微米 is committed to operating our processes and factories with greater water and energy efficiency while eliminating material waste and direct emissions when and where possible.
我们会讲到的. And we are proud to use our position in the industry and work with peers to stimulate the best and brightest startups to solve real, 高影响力的挑战. Climate change presents big challenges for all of us. But these nine finalists give us great hope; they confirm that startup innovation is an essential element in the sustainability transition we’re making.
I’m thrilled at the results of this inaugural event. Together with our friends across the semiconductor ecosystem, we intend to run this program annually until we accomplish and exceed our sustainability goals and rebuild semiconductor operations in a way that ensures future, 人人享有可持续增长.
