Enabling Sustainability for Semiconductor Chemicals

Purity ReSource™ provides technology solutions to advance sustainability in semiconductor manufacturing.

  • Our onsite systems upcycle used and lower-grade Isopropanol back to electronic grades, removing trace metals to low ppt and moisture to low ppm levels.

  • We possesses the chemical expertise to safely clean used Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) ampoules, making them suitable for reuse.

  • We help companies advance their sustainability goals through tailored research solutions and innovative strategies.

Purity ReSource is a proud member/partner of the following organizations.

Closing the Loop on Semiconductor Chemistry

Purity ReSource builds systems engineered to create stable local supply of semiconductor chemicals near-site, onsite, or on-tool.

Minimize waste to landfill and incineration

Generate high-purity chemicals

Create a stable domestic supply chain

Reduce costs by eliminating transportation and waste disposal

Addressing Sustainability Challenges and Supply Chain Vulnerabilities in the US

  • Over a 1 million tons of chemical waste, including roughly 20% Isopropanol (IPA) waste mixtures, end up in landfills or undergo incineration, each year by the US semiconductor industry alone.

  • The increasing demand for electronic IPA in the US (with a 96% growth over five years) is anticipated to surpass domestic production, resulting in shortages by 2027.

  • Currently, 61% of electronic IPA and 100% of UHP grade IPA, crucial for advanced chip production, is imported into the US and projected to grow 3.5x faster than its IC grade counterpart by 2027.

  • IMEC's White Paper: The green transition of the IC industry

    A growing number of key players in the IC industry have committed to this green transition. And with its Sustainable Semiconductor Technology and Systems (SSTS) R&D program, imec plays its role as the research hub at the center of this knowledge network.

  • The Role of Semiconductors in the Renewable Energy Transition

    Will the environmental cost of semiconductor production be offset by their contribution to the long-term green transition? Semiconductors facilitate the transition toward a decarbonised economy. Yet, the chip industry must build sustainability into its manufacturing processes to align with a net zero future.

  • White Paper: Circularity in Intel’s Semiconductor Manufacturing: Recovery and Reuse

    Intel has long been committed to recycling and circular economy strategies, with a focus on recovering and regenerating resources.

  • Semiconductor Climate Consortium Releases Industry Guidelines for Scope 3 Reporting

    The Semiconductor Climate Consortium (SCC) has released its first alignment document with recommendations for calculating Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods and Services) – a substantial portion of Scope 3 emissions for most companies.

News

  • Keeping Arizona’s Semiconductor Industry Sustainable

    In the United States, there is a significant annual disposal of more than a million tons of chemical waste, primarily in landfills or through incineration. The increasing demand for microchips, which has tripled in the last decade, exacerbates this issue. As a result, there’s a growing concern about both the environmental impact and the scarcity of chemicals required for chip manufacturing. One local Arizona company, Purity ReSource, addresses this challenge by advancing technologies for chemical recovery, reprocessing and reuse.

  • Podcast: Insights Help Startups Prepare for SEMI Sustainability Program

    To help attract and prepare applicants, James Amano, Senior Director of EHS and Sustainability at SEMI, joined three alumni from year 2022 program for a podcast conversation with Francoise von Trapp of 3D InCities. Greg Newbloom, CEO and Co-Founder at Membrion; Ben Hernandez, Founder and CEO at NuMat Technologies; and Daniel Alvarez, Founder and CEO at Purity ReSource. Each discussed how their company’s solutions are helping the semiconductor industry achieve its sustainability goals and tips for this year’s applicants.
