Evaluation Process for Semiconductor Fabrication Materials that are Better for the Environment
INTEL® GLOBAL FAB MATERIALS ORGANIZATION SYSTEM
Intel's Global Fab materials (GFM) organization is responsible for early chemical development and procurement of semiconductor die manufacturing materials. Intel conducts a thorough EHS evaluation of chemicals prior to their use at Intel and implements state-of-the-art exposure control and environmental emissions abatement technology for managing their use. GFM deals with EHS considerations at the earlier stages of chemical development and selection from both industry and company perspectives. GFM's strategy is to enable continued global growth of our operations, while identifying and prioritizing new chemicals of EHS concern for further evaluation. We determine information requirements; and work on collaborating with our supply chain, consortia, and research and development organizations to balance the demands for new technology development, Copy Exactly!, and public policy concerns as part of materials development. Components of the GFM Materials EHS system include 1) External Research and Development, 2) Supplier Engagement, and 3) Integration with the overall Materials Risk Evaluation System.
