Bio:

I hold a master degree in sustainable industrial engineering (Grenoble-INP) and am a PhD student at CEA-Leti since Decmbre 2021. In my previous experiences, I conducted a comparative study of life cycle analyses of high quality papers produced with different types of fibers. My thesis at CEA-Leti aims to develop a tool to anticipate the environmental impacts of large-scale semiconductor products on the industry during the development phases using data collected in the research environment.

Abstract:

Semiconductor production requires strict control of the production environment to ensure product quality. The cleanroom must maintain a very low level of airborne particles, controlled temperature and humidity, and a slight overpressure. Large amounts of ressources such as water and electricity are required to maintain these conditions. Therefore, a significant portion of the environmental impacts in the semiconductor industry are due to the stringent requirements of cleanrooms.

A life cycle assessment war performed in the CEA-Leti clean room to evaluate th environmental impacts resulting from the requirements of semiconductor production. The results allow to identify the most important sources of impact and to stimulate a critical analysis of improvement points.
