Priority Need Task
1. Clean manufacturing processes
for electronic products
2. Accelerate research,
development, and
implementation of environmental
implications in emerging
technology trends
3. Additive processes for
manufacturing printed wiring
boards
1.a. Establish a clean-electronic products
manufacturing initiative similar to the cleancar
initiative for emissions, e.g., zero
emission processes and chemical point of use
generation
1.b. As part of the initiative, develop a consensus
work plan addressing materials, chemicals,
processes and design/modeling/simulation
tools
1.c. Develop mass balance tools that will focus
design and prototype efforts on closed-loop
manufacturing processes
1.d. Launch a collaborative effort to benchmark
environmental technologies and practices
1.e. Develop an integrated curriculum addressing
environmental management in electronics
production
2.a. Advance technological applications for leadfree
solders and anisotropic adhesives and
other possible materials associated with
packageless chip technology
2.b. Characterize and evaluate environmental
implications of various display technologies
2.c. Evaluate implications of increasing wafer size
and other key emerging trends
3.a. More fully characterize commercially
available laminate and prepreg materials
3.b. Generate data and documentation supporting
feasibility and efficacy of additive processes
