Bosch steps up production of MEMS with a focus on sustainability

Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, is making a significant contribution to the environmentally friendly future of the entire semiconductor industry. The company is joining a pan-European consortium, GENESIS, to develop sustainable processes and technologies for semiconductor manufacturing.

The GENESIS project, co-financed with a budget of nearly €55 million, aims to transition semiconductor production to a circular economy model. This model minimizes waste, maximizes resource reuse, and reduces environmental impact. Coordinated by CEA-Leti, GENESIS is a strong signal for the future of the European semiconductor industry.

Bosch's involvement in GENESIS is a significant step towards a sustainable future for the semiconductor industry. The company is pursuing a comprehensive approach to reducing its ecological footprint, combining material innovations, emission reductions, and process optimization.

At Bosch Research, the focus is on researching alternatives for critical materials and process gases to reduce the use of environmentally harmful substances. Bosch is also developing new methods for recycling acids to minimize resource consumption.

In addition, Bosch is contributing its expertise in MEMS technology to make key manufacturing processes more sustainable. More than four million MEMS sensors are produced daily for applications in mobility and consumer electronics. Bosch's participation in GENESIS reinforces its commitment to sustainable technologies.

Other Bosch divisions are optimizing exhaust gas abatement to reduce process gas emissions. The search results do not provide specific information on the 56 partners that Bosch collaborates with in the European GENESIS project.

The GENESIS project is application-oriented, combining research expertise with development. The goal is to create a more sustainable and efficient semiconductor industry. Further information about the GENESIS project can be found on its website.

Bosch's significant contribution to the environmentally friendly future of the semiconductor industry is a testament to the company's dedication to sustainable technologies. The company's involvement in GENESIS is a strong signal for the future of the European semiconductor industry, demonstrating a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and a circular economy model.
