Practices Leading up to LEED TI ESH STRETCH GOALS 100% Productivity • Target: Zero Illnesses, Zero Injuries • Occupational illnesses, injuries • Non-occupational (preventable) illnesses, • injuries Sustainable Operations • Target: Zero Wasted Resources - 100% Efficiency • Reuse, regenerate, recycle • No contamination of land, air, or water • Best available energy efficiency

  5. Practices Leading up to LEED U.S. SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING Rate of Lost/Restricted Day Cases TI Rocks! TI Benchmark Performance SIA AVG SIA AVG TI Note: SIA (Semiconductor Industry Association) data updated annually

  6. Practices Leading Up to LEED Energy Conservation • 1973: Corporate Energy Management group formed • Late 1980s: Installed 2.7 million gallons of thermal storage capacity, then added 5 million gallons in the early 1990s • 1995-2006: Energy-efficient projects reduced consumption by 1 billion kWh

  7. Practices Leading Up to LEED Resource Conservation • Recycling: TI has decades of experience in recycling. We currently recycle almost 90 percent of our non-industrial waste worldwide • Water Reuse: Extensive water reuse and reclamation practices are in place – about 1.5 billion gallons annually • Product Stewardship: TI produced its first lead-free semiconductor component in 1989. More than 30 billion lead-free TI components are in products worldwide • Green Building Features: Installed “cool” white roofs • Employee Trip Reduction: This program keeps hundreds of cars off the road everyday

  8. What is Sustainability? At TI, sustainability means operating in a manner that balances people, profit, product, and the planet. • Sustainable processes deliver services without exhausting resources • Sustainable manufacturing facilities work with nature and use resources efficiently to achieve better results at a lower cost and with less impact on the planet

  9. The Triple Bottom Line Environment Environmental Sustainability Ecosystem Integrity Carrying Capacity Biodiversity Social Sustainability Cultural Identity Empowerment Accessibility Stability Equity Economy Society Economic Sustainability Growth Development Productivity Human Well-Being A sustainable system delivers services without exhausting resources. It uses all resources efficiently both in an environmental and economic sense.

  10. TI’s Path to Sustainability TI has a legacy of environmental stewardship; incorporating principles of efficiency and resource conservation in operations worldwide. • TI has used these principles since 1995 to design and construct TI facilities and factories with increasing number of “green” features over time • The Richardson, Texas 300 mm fabrication site (RFAB) completed in 2006, will be the world’s first LEED-certified semiconductor manufacturing facility and the largest certified building in North Texas • We are applying the same practices to the design and construction of our TI-Baguio and TI-Clark Philippines sites • We are also doing a pilot for LEED-EB (existing buildings) to incorporate energy- and resource-saving features

  11. What is LEED? Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design The LEED Green Building Rating System is a voluntary, consensus-based U.S. standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. • Increasingly used internationally • Can be applied to new construction (LEED-NC) and existing buildings (LEED-EB)

  12. LEED Categories Five broad categories encourage a holistic approach to building design: • Sustainable Sites • Water Efficiency • Energy and Atmosphere • Materials and Resources • Indoor Environmental Quality • TI uses LEED as an idea generator and framework for design • The LEED point system challenges all participants, from designers to contractors, to be engaged in all aspects of building more sustainable facilities

  13. LEED Point System LEED-NC awards a maximum of 69 points: In addition, there are seven prerequisites.

  14. TI’s First LEED Project: RFAB Identify Needs • New manufacturing facility • Initial focus: technology, simple reliability, cost and schedule • Fifth team added: sustainability Visualize the Possibilities • Three key company leaders toured a sustainable home (Westbrook House – www.enerjazz.com/house) • Low utility bills ignited interest • Can this be scaled up? Think Outside the Box • Hosted three-day design charrette with Rocky Mountain Institute • Narrowed brainstorming ideas to top 15 • Made a first pass at a LEED score sheet

  15. What is a Fab? A very big, clean facility … • Total space: 1.1 million square feet • Cleanroom space: 220,000 square feet

  16. What is a Fab? 39 nm 86 nm … a manufacturing plant that fabricates very small chips on large silicon wafers. Hair = 80,000 nmdiameter 2 mm Atom = 0.1 nmdiameter 2 mm 300 mm diameter 1,500-5,000 chips each 30,000 wafers/month 1 billion chips/year Gate = 39 nmdiameter DNA = 2 nmdiameter

  17. RFAB: TI’s Journey to Sustainability

  18. RFAB Building: Cost Reduction Challenge: Reduce fab costs per square foot by 30 percent from the previous fab • Forced space efficiency (two levels vs. three levels) • Couldn’t copy previous design – had to innovate Out-of-the-Box Thinking: A LEED building does not have to cost more. Our goal was to achieve Gold LEED certification for the RFAB office building and Silver certification for the fab itself.

  19. RFAB Project Features • 92-acre site • 1.1 million square feet • 220,000 square feet of cleanroom space • Capacity for almost 1,000 employees • Main components: • Fab building • Support building • Central utility plant (CUP) building • Administration building

  48. What is Sustainability? BACKUP

  49. Equipment OEMs What Equipment OEMs can do to accelerate sustainability: • Adhere to SEMI S23 Utilities – measure the tool utility consumption while processing and at-rest • Direct tool energy use: • Measure and report on the efficiency of the tool so we can make good purchase decisions • Minimize internal pressure drop of all systems • Minimize exhaust volume • Radiant heat shielding • For internal power supplies specify efficient units.  Even internal lighting should be high efficiency and operable

  50. Equipment OEMs What Equipment OEMs can do to accelerate sustainability for attached equipment: • Vacuum pump suppliers have been making good strides with pump efficiency. Qualify the efficient pumps on your tools and make sure that tools will communicate with pumps for idle signal standby (using a standard communication protocol) • Remote chillers are extremely inefficient. Facilities cooling water is usually approx. 13 deg C – can tools use that directly?  If not, incorporate the most efficient chiller.  The ISMI Energy Group is working to define “efficient” • RF Generators. Newer units will drop power down while on standby • Mini Environments. Use the lowest pressure drop HEPA / ULPA filters and the highest efficiency fan. We put efficiency in our spec and have FFU’s in the fab that will produce 8000cfm/kW. Many Mini-environment systems are much less efficient than that
