The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) is therefore proposing a comprehensive PFAS ban in the European Economic Area. In addition, numerous US states have enacted or are currently implementing bans and restrictions on PFAS in various consumer and industrial products. Japan is also taking action and will ban the manufacture, import and use of 138 PFAS chemicals from January 2025. Globally, the Stockholm Convention has listed several PFAS for elimination or restriction, including a recently adopted ban on long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs), which will be enforced in all member countries from January 2026.<\/p>\n

Our expertise in off-gas and wastewater treatment provides a solid foundation for the development of forward-looking technologies that can address the challenges of PFAS issues in the semiconductor industry. This includes the optimization of cleaning systems for effective PFAS removal, for example CF4, as well as research into innovative treatment technologies. <\/p>\n

May 22, 2025. The semiconductor industry is facing major challenges in dealing with perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). Due to their unique properties such as temperature and chemical resistance, these materials are indispensable in many areas of semiconductor production, particularly in etching and cleaning processes and as components of membranes and filters. However, PFAS are increasingly becoming the focus of regulatory measures due to their properties. Many of these chemicals are toxic, can cause cancer and infertility and weaken the immune system. In addition, the extremely stable carbon-fluorine compounds are not degradable in nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4818],"tags":[1972,2012,4836,4783,1970],"class_list":["post-484744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-microelectronics","tag-nanoelectronics","tag-process-technologies","tag-production","tag-semiconductors","tag-sustainability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDAS Environmental Experts: PFAS in semiconductor manufacturing - a growing challenge - Silicon Saxony<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/silicon-saxony.de\/en\/das-environmental-experts-pfas-in-semiconductor-manufacturing-a-growing-challenge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DAS Environmental Experts: PFAS in semiconductor manufacturing - a growing challenge - Silicon Saxony\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"May 22, 2025.
