Energy intensity

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000115

A measure of the energy consumed per unit of output or economic activity, indicating the energy efficiency of a process or system. In semiconductor manufacturing, it quantifies the energy required to produce a certain number of chips or a specific area of silicon wafer. Reducing energy intensity is a key goal for sustainability efforts in the industry, often measured in kilowatt-hours per wafer or per device.
