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.

4 Integrated Management System for Occupational Safety, Health and Environmental ProtectionIMPRES-anIntegratedApproach
ImmediatelyafterInfineonTechnologiesAGwasestablished,acompany-wideenvironmental
managementsystemwasintroducedwhichissubjecttocontinuousimprovement.Environmental
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.
11IMPRES
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
Austria AG. Apart from permanent exchange of knowledge within the Group,
education and further training play an important role in all areas.

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.

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

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
production volume.

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

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

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.
TheearnestnessofInfineon’saimtoreducePFCemissionsisdemonstrated,forexample,byits

holistic measures to accomplish this challenging plan, we have succeeded in already achieving this goal,
three years ahead of schedule.

PFCemissionsforInfineonintheEU*
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.

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.

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

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”.
