LCA is an approach for assessing the environmental impact of a commercial product, process, and service throughout its life cycle by quantifying energy, material, and waste emissions. Specifically, on the carbon footprint of semiconductors, Samsung’s LCA covers the extraction of raw materials for chip manufacturing, assembly, and testing. Its calculation is based on ISO 14040, ISO 14044, and ISO 14067 to ensure reliability and transparency.
Samsung and its customers commonly use the Carbon Footprint to identify the environmental impact of all stages of Samsung’s semiconductor products and can be used as an indicator to track and reduce carbon emissions.
So far, 37 of Samsung’s semiconductor products including DRAM, SSD, embedded storage, mobile SoC, mobile Image Sensor, and automotive LED packages have received Carbon Trust and UL’s Carbon Footprint certification. In addition to this, 6 memory products have received Carbon Trust’s Carbon Emission certification.
Using LCA established late last year, Samsung will measure the carbon footprint of chips produced at all of its global manufacturing, testing, and assembly sites in South Korea, China, and the United States.
Samsung will expand its Life Cycle Assessment to include water and resource footprints to provide a more comprehensive assessment that will eventually reduce the application’s effect on the environment.
According to Dooguen Song, Executive Vice President of the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Center at Samsung Electronics:
“Since 2019, we have been actively mobilizing efforts to measure and reduce the carbon emissions of our key memory and logic solutions. By leveraging LCA, we will be able to support our customers to achieve their carbon neutrality, as well as becoming more transparent on the environmental impact of the semiconductors we produce worldwide.”
