Innovative solutions for the sustainable production for Semiconductor raw materials

Funds industrial consortia that develop more sustainable, cost-effective ways to extract, process or refine raw materials used in semiconductor manufacturing.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

Innovative solutions for the sustainable production for Semiconductor raw materials is a European Commission Innovation Action that funds industrial consortia, worth EUR 8 million each, to develop more sustainable, cost-effective ways to extract, process or refine raw materials used in semiconductor manufacturing β€” covering ten named materials: antimony, arsenic, bismuth, boron, gallium, germanium…

The call wants innovation actions covering one or more of ten named raw materials used in semiconductors β€” antimony, arsenic, bismuth, boron, gallium, germanium, indium, selenium, silicon and tellurium β€” that raise Europe's competitiveness and cut import dependency, spanning the value chain from extraction to production of semiconductor-grade materials and alloys.
