BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM
Currently, greenhouse gas abatement (particularly F-GHGs) in semiconductor fabs is performed at the point-of-use level with cabinet-sized abatement systems for each tool. This necessitates a large area which also requires utilities to maintain a subfab environment suitable to house these point-of-use abatement systems. This is a capital-intensive solution and imposes a limitation on older fabs through space and utility constraints when they are trying to upgrade their level of greenhouse gas abatement.
To enable Global Foundries to reduce its GHG emissions, we are therefore looking for solutions that can provide us with a facility-level abatement system for the destruction of greenhouse gases from semiconductor fab exhaust.
Solutions we are not interested in include:
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS / PERFORMANCE CRITERIA:
GF will be evaluating the solution providers on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, we will be looking at the following requirements and criteria:
Technical Requirements:
Relevant standards:
Product/solution development stages:
COST TARGET
Generally speaking, we would be looking at a maximum total expenditure of USD $10 million including labour, testing and commissioning, and installation of any needed utilities.
TIMEFRAME FOR DEVELOPMENT
Phase 1: PoC/Pilot phase 2-4 months
Phase 2: Commercial roll-out to be determined on a case-by-case basis
Target project completion preferably commissioned by end-2025.
POTENTIAL MARKET / BUSINESS OPPORTUNITYWith GF: either 1 unit of 1,000,000 CMH or 5 units of 200,000 CMH Every semiconductor fab in the world could be a potential customer as well.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
If proposed solution prove their efficacy, GF is willing to work together with solution provider to jointly roll out globally
