Water use
TI recognizes that water is a precious resource. Yet it is crucial to semiconductor manufacturing, which is why the company conserves and reuses water and works to preserve water quality to every extent possible.
We manage three types of water use globally, which makes up our water footprint:
- Nonmanufacturing water. Used in restrooms, irrigation, water fountains and cafeterias.
- Manufacturing water. Used in rinse-bath fills and other processes.
- Manufacturing support water. Used in process exhausts and cooling systems.
On average, it takes one-third of a gallon of water to make one semiconductor chip. In order to conserve this natural resource, maintain water quality, and reduce our utility expense, we routinely invest in and identify new ways to reduce our consumption.
