The SEMI PFAS Initiative will accelerate industry efforts to reduce PFAS dependency, mitigate PFAS-related semiconductor supply chain disruption, and encourage environmentally responsible risk management in cases where there are no alternatives to PFAS.

The finalists will be invited to present at the Sustainability Pavilion during SEMICON West on Thursday, July 13, as part of a startup-focused program.

Building on the success of the first year of Startups for Semiconductor Sustainability to spur more green tech innovation, SEMI invites startups, academics, and innovators with compelling ideas for advancing semiconductor industry sustainability to apply to participate.
