Bosch Makes Progress in Sustainable Manufacturing of MEMS Products
Bosch, a global leader in MEMS technology, is spearheading a significant initiative to make key manufacturing processes more sustainable. The project, known as GENESIS, aims to transition semiconductor production to a circular economy model, minimising waste, maximising resource reuse, and fostering a low-environmental-impact industry.
With a budget of nearly €55 million, the GENESIS project is co-financed by the Chips Joint Undertaking of the European Commission, participating EU member states, and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). Bosch is joining forces with 58 partners from research, industry, and small and medium-sized enterprises in this endeavour.
The focus of Bosch's efforts within the GENESIS project is on researching alternatives for critical materials and process gases to reduce the use of environmentally harmful substances. This is particularly important in the production of more than four million MEMS sensors daily for applications in mobility and consumer electronics, as the use of certain materials and gases presents an ecological challenge due to their high global warming potential or potential harm to the environment.
Bosch Research is intensifying its research activities for the sustainable production of MEMS sensors as part of this pan-European consortium. Other Bosch divisions are concentrating on optimising exhaust gas abatement to reduce process gas emissions, and developing new methods for recycling acids to minimise resource consumption.
By combining research expertise and application-oriented development, Bosch is making a significant contribution to the environmentally friendly future of MEMS sensor production and the entire semiconductor industry. This commitment to sustainable technologies is reaffirmed by Bosch's participation in the GENESIS project.

Bosch's pursuit of a comprehensive approach to reducing its ecological footprint, combining material innovations, emission reductions, and process optimisation, is a testament to its dedication to a sustainable future.
