Innovations in Production

Infineon Austria has committed itself to an innovation initiative across all divisions

of the company with the aim of intensifying collaboration between research,

development and production in areas where specialist knowledge comes together.

This bedrock fosters a culture of innovation which promotes the potential of

employees and creates the scope for new ideas.

Hallmarks of Villach microchip production are innovative processes and

technologies that are unique the world over. Infineon is driving structural

change in microchip production and is following the route to the “innovation fab”.

In the course of the transition from mass production to the innovation fab, our

employeesfocusoninnovationsinproductionalongtheentirevaluechain-from

inception, through the processes, to the customer. In this way, an important

contributionismadetocompetitivenessandtofuture-proofingtheproductionsite.

One of the greatest challenges in the field of power semiconductors is production

on wafers as thin as 40 microns, an area for which Villach has exclusive global

responsibility. Correspondingly thinned wafers are flexible like film and require

particular care in the processing. In September 2010 Infineon started setting up a

pilot line in Villach to look into the possibility of manufacturing power devices on

300 mm thin wafers within a year.

3 Company Policy: Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental Protection

Protection of human beings and the environment

Sustainability and protection of human beings and the environment. This is the guiding principle

onwhichInfineonfocuses.Weareawareofourrolemodelstatusasalargeindustrialenterprise.

Infineon Technologies Austria AG received the EMAS Award this year from the Austrian Environment

Minister for consistently interlinking environmental and economic goals.

Environmental protection has been an integral part of the corporate activity of Infineon Austria for

manyyears.ThecompanyhasbeenEMAS-validatedsince1997.EMASstandsfor“Eco-Management

and Audit Scheme” and is a voluntary environmental management system for companies within the

EU.Ourapproachisdouble-pronged:Ontheonehandweexploreeveryavenuetoensure

responsible and sustainable management of resources within our own sphere, while on the other

hand Infineon develops products suited for reducing energy consumption in the household and in

industry.

ForInfineon,aresponsibleoccupationalsafety,healthandenvironmentalprotectionpolicyisnot

limited to compliance with legal standards and regulatory requirements. It is much rather a process

of continuous improvement, for instance of our products and of the way in which our plants and

equipment are operated. In 2005 the company consolidated occupational safety, health and

environmental protection to form IMPRES (Infineon Integrated Management Program for Environ-

ment, Safety and Health). The program covers all the processes, strategies and corresponding goals

in the areas of occupational safety, health and environmental protection worldwide.

protection has therefore been an integral part of strategic activity for many years. Production sites

worldwidearematrix-certifiedinaccordancewiththeENISO14001standard.Inaddition,

theAustriansiteofVillachisEMAS-validated.

Finally,in2005,IMPRES(InfineonIntegratedManagementProgramforEnvironment,Safetyand

Health) was established across the Group, covering all the processes, strategies and corresponding

goals in the areas of the environment, occupational safety and health, and in the same year we

received matrix certification according to the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.

The Villach site, which also received the EMAS Award 2009 for consistently interlinking

environmental and economic goals, is furthermore the first company in Austria to be validated

according to the EMAS III Regulation (EC No. 1221/2009).

As part of this Updated Environmental Statement, we will address the area of environmental

protection within IMPRES below.

4.1 Organization and Documentation of the Environmental Management System

Forus,environmentalprotectionisnotanemptyphrase,butformspartofthe

social accountability of Infineon. To meet the high standards in environmental

protection,wehavelaiddowndetailedrulesforthissubjectintheInfineon

Group and have defined the individual areas of responsibility for the various

tasks. Our IMPRES forms the basis for this.

The documentation of Infineon’s occupational safety, health and environmental

protection management includes not only the IMPRES manual, but also the com-

plete process descriptions and work instructions relevant to occupational safety,

healthandenvironmentalprotection,andfurtherIMPRES-relevantdocuments.

As part of IMPRES, the integrated management system of the entire Villach site

is reviewed regularly through internal and external audits. The status of the

management system is regularly reviewed as part of the management review by

the top management/site management for constant improvement and monitoring

of the activities.

4.2 Integration of Staff

Some 2,000 staff at the Villach site contribute with their motivation, flexibility

andknow-howtothelong-termcorporatesuccessofInfineonTechnologies

4.4 Observance of Legal Regulations Relevant to the Environment

Legal regulations and other relevant regulatory requirements (decisions) are rigorously observed by the

company.Furthermore,alltheinternalandexternalrequirementsaresystematicallytakenintoaccount.

Current legal regulations that affect occupational safety, health and environmental protection at the site

arelistedinalawdirectory.Thesoftware-supportedlawdirectoryisregularlyupdatedandreviewed,

and is a basis for the process descriptions in occupational safety, health and environmental protection.

Moreover, with a view to the company’s plant approvals, the site has possessed a consolidated certificate

pursuant to the Environmental Management Act (§ 22 UMG) since 2005. This gives companies that

employ an environmental management system according to EMAS the opportunity to combine all federal

law approvals for a plant in a single certificate.

Thus, the aim of combining all plant approvals issued for operation at the Villach site in a single

certificate has been achieved, satisfying the latest statutory documentation and monitoring

requirements in the interest of legal compliance.

5EnvironmentalImpacts-Data,FactsandFigures

Environmental impact is every positive or negative change to the environment

that occurs entirely or partly as a result of the activities, products or services of

an organization.

Infineon is aware of the presence of various environmental impacts and is pledged

to identify new aspects and to take corresponding action where necessary.

5.1 Input/Output Analysis

In order to minimize the environmental impacts of the Villach site, processes are

optimized on the basis of systematic recording and evaluation of energy and

material flows. In particular, resources are used as efficiently as possible by

means of targeted treatment and recycling.

17Environmental Impacts

Activities monitoring the efficiency of the specific policies and regulations

for minimizing direct and indirect environmental aspects include those of the

in-plantDisasterControlOrganization(BKO),strategicandpracticalexercises

involving the company’s action force, as well as audits and site inspections.

However, added significance is to be given to direct environmental aspects due

to the potential impacts on the environment. The sections below report on the

direct environmental aspects applying to the Villach site, such as the energy,

In this simplified Environmental Statement, the data in the input and output

tables have again been presented across three years in order to visualize the

repercussionsoftheunder-utilizationofcapacityinfiscalyear2008/09.

Compared with the previous year, the significant increase in the total input of

resources for the 2009/10 fiscal year results mainly from full utilization of

semiconductor production capacity due to market conditions.

The specific consumption of resources was significantly reduced compared with

thepreviousyearduetotheoptimizationmeasuresintroduced-particularlyin

theenergysector-duringtheunder-utilizationofcapacity,andtotheincreased

being consistently carried forward.

The interrelationship between consumption of input materials / resources and

utilization of the production capacity available will be discussed in the section

below on energy, as an example for the input variables concerned.

In order to heed the concept and guiding principle of the EMAS III Regulation in

terms of rendering data comparable and enabling benchmarking, the data

reportedinthe2009/10fiscalyearwerearea-normalized,i.e.reportingisbased

on the specific consumption of resources per cm2 of silicon wafer manufactured.

5.2 Direct Environmental Aspect

Direct environmental aspects are under the company’s immediate control and are directly linked

with the activities, products and services. Examination of legal regulations and material flows are

used for identification of environmental aspects. The most obvious direct environmental aspects

are emissions into the air and into water, waste and use of resources and energy.

Energy

EnergyandsavingenergyistakenveryseriouslyatInfineonAustria,whichiswhy-alongsidethe

The processes are optimized by systemically recording and evaluating the energy and material

flows so as to implement measures targeted at maximizing the efficiency of consumption.

Energy Saving with Infineon Products

Infineon products promote energy efficiency along the entire supply chain.

They reduce energy consumption in households and industry, for instance in IT

servers,lighting,television,cookers,allthewaytolarge-scaleindustrialplants.

On top of our activities to save energy at product level, we are strongly

committedtotheinnovationareaofelectro-mobility.Withregardtothe

employees, mention is made that the use of five electric bicycles at the site

sets an example. On the one hand they are at the disposal of the product

development division and on the other they give the employees the opportunity

to test the suitability of the bicycles for daily use.

renewable bio resources not only permits optimization of the site’s carbon foot-

print, but also achieves greater independence from the international gas market

and hence increased security of supply. Creation of a regional and regenerative

heat supply is moving ahead due to a new biomass power plant in Villach with

anoutputof16MWandexpansionoftheexistingheatingnetworkby13kmin

the south of the city. Approximately 77% of the gas consumption will be replaced

by district heat, while there is a continuing need for 23% of the gas consumption

for exhaust air combustion.

On the basis of the sustainable energy concept, Infineon thereby becomes the

region’s largest customer for heating with an annual demand of approximately

18millionkilowatt-hours,signifyingextraregionalvalueadded.Moreover,asa

result of Infineon’s heat supply contract and the associated advancing expansion

of district heating in Villach by a regional energy provider, safe and

environmentally friendly district heat can be offered to even more potential

customers. Plans are that by the end of 2011 approximately 80% of the heat at

the Villach site will come from renewable sources and waste heat. The supply of

district heat is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2011. Provision is made

for 4 district heating connection points at the site.

A consumption target for the specific power consumption of the site was again set up on the basis

of the measures in the environmental program and the planned production capacity utilization for

the 2010/11 fiscal year. Owing to the technological innovations already mentioned and the resultant

facility expansions, we therefore regard a linear extrapolation of the power consumption as a

challenging aim.

As reported in international studies, a large percentage of the electric power and media

consumption (typically 50% for e.g. energy) in semiconductor manufacture is unrelated to

production volumes and is used to maintain facilities, installed product capacity and cleanroom

quality. In other words, the entire equipment, systems and subsystems need almost the same

amountofenergyinthestand-bymodeaswhenfullydeployed.Thishighlightsthenecessityofa

sustainable resource reduction strategy.

“BreathingFab”

The diagrams below show energy consumption plotted against capacity utilization in wafer

manufacturing. The electric power consumption in semiconductor manufacture (see the diagram

showing the schematic representation of energy consumption) is typically almost constant despite

the sharp fluctuations in wafer manufacturing (capacity utilization). Since the semiconductor

Consumption of chemicals and gases in kg/cm2 silicon area normalized per fiscal year

In a detailed analysis of the site energy statistics, a positive aspect in the 2009/10 fiscal year that is

to be mentioned is that a high percentage (about 23%) of the total energy required was again

provided internally by way of waste heat utilization and heat recovery.

Theconsumptionofextra-light(EL)heatingoilwasverylowintheperiodunderconsideration.

The consumption of natural gas at the site, used approximately 80% for operating the heating and

also for exhaust air cleaning (burn boxes), is more pronounced.

To illustrate the point, all employees are encouraged to reduce the volume of

residual waste by collecting and segregating waste and recyclable fractions.

In the area of hazardous waste, concentrated sulfuric acid and spent solvents

in particular are collected separately and recycled externally.

cooling production and infrastructure installations is made available on site,

while the drinking water and the water for sanitary installations is obtained from

the local public utility.

In the 2009/10 fiscal year, despite increased production capacity, both the

specific water consumption and the absolute water volume were significantly

reducedthroughin-houseprocessoptimizationandlogistics.Thisalsoresulted

in a reduction of the specific waste water volume. In the 2010/11 fiscal year,

consumption targets were defined for the site’s specified water consumption and

waste water volume, along the same lines as for the power consumption.

The increase in some exhaust air volumes, which are still distinctly below the limit, is due to the increased production volume.

BasedontherequirementsoftheEMASIIIRegulation,theNOX(nitrogenoxide),SO2 (sulfur dioxide)

and dust emissions are also reported in this Environmental Statement.

TheNOXemissionsofthesiteareapprox.11,500kginthe2009/10fiscalyear,about8%ofwhichcome

from the fossil fuels used.

The emissions from the production areas were evaluated using an assessment of the loads of the

exhaustairstreamsandtheirNOXcontamination.

TheNOXemissionsfromtheheatingmixusedwerecalculatedonthebasisoftheannualemission

declarationforboilerplants(FederalGazetteIINo.292/2007),whichiscommunicatedelectronicallyto

the Environment Agency in the form of an annual report. (Internal conversion factors from the respective product

specificationsandfromRecknagel,Sprenger,Schramek;Heizung-undKlimatechnik03/04).

The SO2 emission of the site was determined stoichiometrically as no SO2 is used as process gas in

production and SO2emissionsfromtheheatingmixused(naturalgasandextra-lightheatingoil)are

limited by the product specifications (sulfur typically < 0.01 %). The emission assessment of < 10 kg

sulfurdioxidefromnaturalgasandextra-lightheatingoilwashencebasedontheproductspecifications

of the heating mix.

In terms of dust emissions, an expert conducts an annual review with reference to the regulatory

requirements (max. 5 mg/Nm3) as part of the respective check system. The measured values for the last

fiscal year are between 0.1 and 3 mg/Nm3.

The assessment of site dust emissions for the last fiscal year is approx. 1.5 t and again results from an

assessment of the load of the exhaust air streams.

Formanyyears,wehavedevotedparticularattentiontoreducingtheemissionsofperfluorinated

compounds(PFCs).ThecontributionofPFCstothegreenhouseeffectexceedsbyfarthatofcarbon

dioxide. In order to reduce the effect of the emissions on climate, we paid special attention to sustainable

reductionmeasures-especiallyintheareaofexhaustairpurificationandtheuseofsulfurhexafluoride

(SF6) in testing facilities as well as the use of CO2-relevantprocessgasesinproduction.

holistic measures to accomplish this challenging plan, we have succeeded in already achieving this goal,

three years ahead of schedule.

AsalreadydescribedinthelastEnvironmentalStatement,SF6 is a process gas

that is essential to the semiconductor industry. There was again a significant

reductionintheproportionofSF6 used on site for measuring and testing the

manufactured wafers. The total consumption increased due to full production

capacity utilization. As already mentioned, according to the current state of the

artthereisnotechnicalalternativetotheuseofSF6 in the plasma etching arena.

Since at the Villach site, in order to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases

as specified by the Kyoto Protocol, we have opted for sustainable reduction

measures, in particular in the field of exhaust gas cleaning and use of

perfluorinated hydrocarbons, this has allowed us to maintain constant the

specific CO2 emissions related to manufactured silicon area.

As a result, of course, rigorous compliance with the Austrian Ordinance for

Industrial Gases is ensured.

CO2 emissions heating

Fiscalyear

37Reduction

The reduced CO2 emissions of the heating compared to the last fiscal year are due to the deliberately

reduced oil consumption. One focal area for the Villach site in the 2009/10 and 2010/11 fiscal years

is that of regenerative energy. As detailed above, the changeover of the Villach site heating system

ofInfineonTechnologiesAustriafromgastobiomass(wood)-fireddistrictheatingiscurrentlybeing

prepared in the interest of using local renewable bio resources. This move not only permits

optimization of the site’s carbon footprint, but also achieves greater independence from the

internationalgasmarketandhenceincreasedsecurityofsupply.Plansarefora70%-reductionin

natural gas consumption by using biogenic resources.

Noise

Infineonkeepsanupdatednoiseregister,andnoise-generatingmachines,suchascompressors,

refrigerating machines and heat pumps, are housed in closed supply rooms. This avoids any

exposure of the residents living nearby to noise.

Energy-EfficientProducts

Infineon is committed to responsible use of natural resources not only in production. The company

also conducts ongoing research into more efficient use of the energy flows in the semiconductors

produced. Longer service life and improved recycling properties of the products are factored into the

designofInfineonchips.Furthermorethereisadevelopmentmanualspecificallygearedto

environmentally sound product design.

5.3 Indirect Environmental Aspects

In addition to the direct environmental aspects, consideration also has to be paid to the indirect

aspects which might result in significant environmental impact over which the organization has no or

only limited control.

Logistic38

Infineon’s “Power Management & Supply Discretes” division concentrates on

reducing power loss in electronic equipment, and on efficient use of energy.

Energy-savingproductse.g.fromtheCoolSET®andCoolMOS®familyandfrom

theso-calledSmartBallastICproductrangeareproducedattheVillachsite.

The use of Infineon products in industrial lighting, which accounts for 15% of

global energy consumption, significantly reduces electric power consumption.

These Infineon products permit power loss to be drastically reduced and efficiency

increased to far above 90 percent. Consumers benefit directly from the Infineon

developments by saving energy costs. To give a few examples; induction cookers

equippedwithInfineonIGBTproductsare30-percentmoreefficientandsaveup

to 70 percent power.

Lighting accounts for a 15 to 22% share in the global electricity consumption.

Infineon’s highly efficient products from the CoolMOS‘ and Smart Ballast IC

product range contribute to a substantial reduction in the electric power

consumption and therefore also support the quest to reduce CO2 emission.

Thesavingspotentialofhigh-performanceMOSFETsbecomesclearfromthe

example of new PC sales, which the Gartner Group puts at a figure of 50 million2

perannumintheEUalone.Their300-wattpowersupplyunitsrunonaveragefor

Environmental Conduct of Contractors (Purchasing) and Outside Companies

Alongside the company’s process descriptions for environmentally sound procurement

of services and equipment, the suppliers’ environmental performance is appraised using

a rating scheme. Consideration is also paid to whether suppliers have an environmental

management system. Almost 90% of our site’s suppliers have a certified environmental

management system in place.

Service providers and suppliers are also obliged to meet our standards in occupational

safety, health and environmental protection, and in working and social conditions.

To support them in this quest, the Infineon Group has formulated principles which are

based on our globally applicable “Business Conduct Guidelines” and form the basis for

successful collaboration with our suppliers. In addition to these principles and the

environmental and occupational safety aspects in the master purchase agreements,

wehaveformulatedtherequirementstobemetbysuppliersinso-called“Technical

Terms of Delivery”.

Logistics and Transport

Recycling

Theinternalrecyclingquotaofsolvents(redistillationofDMFand

PGMEA) was again approx. 35% in the 2009/10 fiscal year. In fiscal

year 2007/08 a new recycling scheme was evaluated and

implemented successfully for the solvent fractions cyclopentanone

andNMP.Aspartofthisproject,forfiscalyear2009/09almost62%

Renewable energy carriers

Preparation for the changeover from natural gas to district heating.

The changeover of the Villach site heating system of Infineon

TechnologiesAustriaAGfromgastobiomass(wood)-fireddistrict

heating is currently being prepared in the interest of using local

renewable bio resources. This move not only permits optimization of

the site’s carbon footprint, but also achieves greater independence

from the international gas market and hence increased security of

supply.Plansareforanapproximately77%-reductioninnaturalgas
