As the first demonstrator of its kind in the industry, it provides an intuitive way to explore how software optimizes resource consumption in the subfab. The Playroom offers an immersive demonstration of how the intelligent software 'Subfab360 ATC' increases efficiency, reduces costs, and lowers the CO₂ footprint.
Pursuing climate goals while improving cost efficiency – a decision with impact
The semiconductor industry faces the dual challenge of meeting ambitious climate goals while at the same time operating under significant economic pressure. Fab operators must respond quickly, test new approaches, and evaluate the costs, risks, and time requirements of implementation.
The Software Solution
'Subfab360 ATC' is an innovative software solution developed to increase environmental sustainability in semiconductor production. It enables energy and resource reductions in the subfab which leads to significant reductions in CO2 emissions. Semiconductor manufacturers use the software to control their abatements and pumps in real time based on data from coating and etching systems. 'Subfab360 ATC' is manufacturer-independent and offers simple interfaces for smooth integration of process equipment and subfab devices.
The technological demands in fabs are high – with safety and reliability as top priorities. Algorismic has already completed multiple successful implementations of 'Subfab360 ATC' in Taiwan and Germany, collecting real data on resource savings through case studies. These results can now be experienced interactively in the 'Subfab360 ATC Playroom'.
The Demonstrator: Subfab360 ATC Playroom
According to Tony Kühn, Director Project Management at algorismic: “The implementation of 'Subfab360 ATC' is no longer an experiment – it is based on real operational experience, has repeatedly proven its effectiveness, and has demonstrated substantial savings potential. This makes it a logical and meaningful solution for any fab aiming to combine efficiency with sustainability.”
In the web application, complex processes are presented interactively and in a way that is easy to understand:
- The visualization shows a fab: in the cleanroom above, a production tool (e.g., for etching processes); below, in the subfab, the abatement equipment with scrubber and pumps.
- Without information on gas flows from the production tool and pumps, the abatement equipment runs at full load – with maximum resource consumption.
- With the software activated, the abatement receives real-time data on gas types and volumes from the production tool and can adjust its energy use for combustion accordingly.
- In the Savings Reporting, the achieved reductions are clearly displayed and can individually be translated into monetary values.
Highlight Efficiency Potentials
When the significant efficiency potentials in the subfab are made transparent for decision-makers, it provides a much stronger basis for the sustainable decision to implement Active Tool Coupling (ATC). Only by experiencing how the software works together with the achievable resource and cost savings does it become clear how valuable the implementation of 'Subfab360 ATC' is.
