Abstract: |
Manufacturing in nano-scale is not a simple
extrapolation of the current and conventional manufacturing
practices. The shift to nano scale creates both major issues as
well as significant opportunities in performance, cost, and
environmental impact for electronics industry. This
presentation focuses on both the positive and the negative
environmental impact of this inevitable paradigm change. The
inter-relationship between the three sustainability factors
(performance, cost, and environmental impact) for future
electronics manufacturing will be analyzed. In particular, the
challenges related to resource requirements and utilization
(water, energy, and chemicals) will be discussed. Examples of
unique opportunities for environmental gain, that nano-scale
manufacturing can provide, will be presented. |
