Description

The IEEE International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS™) is a comprehensive framework that establishes global benchmarks and standards for semiconductor device and system manufacturing. It serves as a foundational physical baseline for sustainable architectures, including those focused on Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) principles. By defining specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for facility sustainability, the roadmap guides the industry in aligning operational complexities with international mandates. The framework is critical for tracking scaling trajectories in sub-5 nm nodes and addressing cross-cutting challenges such as hazardous waste management and Scope 3 supply chain accountability.
