A Single Product for Cradle-to-Gate Sustainability Insights
EcoInsights is a comprehensive solution designed to help semiconductor companies drive significant environmental progress. With EcoInsights, users can quickly calculate the carbon footprint of over 20,000 integrated circuits (ICs) with cradle-to-gate transparency. It provides detailed insights into emissions from die manufacturing, packaging, and transportation. By identifying areas for improvement, companies can make data-driven decisions to reduce their environmental impact.
This powerful suite offers three integrated modules that deliver the data and tools needed for informed sustainability choices.
The Manufacturing Carbon Module is the first of its kind to detail Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 carbon emissions by fab, location, wafer, and die. It combines equipment, processes, and manufacturing steps for Logic, DRAM, NAND, as well as select Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) processes, into a single model for over 225 fabs globally.
The Packaging+ Carbon Module lets you calculate the carbon footprint of almost 29,000 ICs with standardized calculations based on packaging type, die size, and other factors. Get detailed analysis of Scope 1 and 2 from die manufacturing and Scope 2 and 3 emissions from packaging to track the impact of your entire supply chain.
The Carbon Analyzer Module offers a product-level overview of all integrated circuits in a device and their carbon footprints, down to the packaged IC level. It simplifies benchmarking and comparing semiconductor products and manufacturers on key sustainability metrics by detailing their environmental impact at both the component and function levels.
