Intel deploys extreme ultraviolet
lithography in high-volume manufacturing; use of the technology in
Ireland is a first for mass production in Europe.
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Intel’s Fab 34 production milestone is another proof point that
Intel is executing on its plan to deliver five process nodes in
four years and to usher in a new generation of leadership
products.
- Intel’s investments in Ireland, along with existing and planned
investments in Germany and Poland, create a first-of-its-kind
end-to-end leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing value chain in
Europe. They serve as a catalyst for additional ecosystem
investments and innovations across the European Union.
- Intel unveils its Ireland Climate Action Plan, which outlines
steps for sustainability, aiming for a reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions, energy use, water use and waste to landfill.
Intel today celebrated the arrival of its Intel 4 technology,
which uses extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology, and the first use
of EUV in high-volume manufacturing (HVM) in Europe. The arrival of
this important moment ushers in the future for products like
Intel’s upcoming Intel® Core™ Ultra processors (code-named Meteor
Lake), which will pave the way for AI PCs, as well as
future-generation Intel® Xeon® processors coming in 2024 and
produced on the Intel 3 process node.

EUV technology employed in the production of Intel 4 is broadly
adopted in leading-edge semiconductor technology nodes that power
the most demanding computing applications, such as artificial
intelligence (AI), advanced mobile networks, autonomous driving,
and new data center and cloud applications. EUV plays a critical
role in driving Intel toward its goals of delivering five nodes in
four years and regaining leadership in process technology by
2025.

“I am proud of the Intel team as well as our customers,
suppliers and partners who worked with us to bring this moment to
life and keep us on the path back to process leadership,” said Pat
Gelsinger, Intel CEO. “The Silicon Isle has always been core to our
long-term strategy, and today’s opening of Fab 34 contributes to
the EU's goal of creating a more resilient and sustainable
semiconductor supply chain.”
A More Sustainable, Resilient and Secure Global Supply
Chain
The opening of Fab 34 in Leixlip, Ireland, combined with Intel’s
planned wafer fabrication facility in Magdeburg, Germany, and
planned assembly and test facility in Wrocław, Poland, will help
create a first-of-its-kind end-to-end leading-edge semiconductor
manufacturing value chain in Europe. As the home for industries at
the vanguard of technology – AI, telecommunications, data center,
automotive and others – Europe needs a resilient leading-edge
semiconductor supply chain. Intel is committed to helping Europe
realize its technological ambitions and, in turn, to building a
global semiconductor supply chain that is resilient and
geographically balanced.
“Intel’s Ireland operations are a cornerstone of our global
manufacturing footprint, and an important part of building an
end-to-end semiconductor manufacturing value chain in Europe,” said
Keyvan Esfarjani, executive vice president and chief global
operations officer at Intel. “As we continue to advance our
17-billion-euro investment, this marks a significant milestone and
a win for our Ireland operations as it brings Intel’s latest and
greatest Intel 4 technology utilizing EUV to Fab 34, Ireland and
Europe.”
Dr. Ann Kelleher, executive vice president and general manager
of Technology Development at Intel, said, “This is a landmark for
Intel and the semiconductor industry as a whole. The transfer of
Intel 4 process technology into high-volume production in Ireland
is a giant step toward enabling leading-edge manufacturing in
Europe and a huge moment for our technology development teams in
Oregon, too.”
The process development and early HVM on Intel 4 technology –
which delivers significant improvements in performance, power
efficiency and transistor density compared with earlier
technologies – was performed in Intel’s development fab in
Oregon.
“The opening of Fab 34 marks yet another historic day for Intel
and for the team in Ireland. Since arriving here in 1989, Intel has
been an anchor of our country’s industrial development, and today
the company is once again demonstrating its commitment to
leading-edge technology from Ireland,” said Leo Varadkar, Irish
Taoiseach. “This milestone comes at a pivotal time for the
industry, as Europe puts in place the building blocks to increase
its semiconductor capacity. We look forward to the role that
Ireland can play in realising the region’s ambitions.”
Intel’s Ambitious Environmental Commitment: A Sustainable
Path Forward
Intel is committed to expanding its operations while minimizing
its environmental footprint. Today, the company released its
Ireland Climate Action Plan, which details efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy use, water use and waste to
landfill.
Leixlip’s Fab 34 is on track to achieve LEED® Gold
certification. The new facility incorporates several design
innovations for increased sustainability. For example, the
buildings will be using a 9-to-1 ratio of heat generated by heat
recovery to heat generated by traditional methods, and the majority
of cement used during construction was characterized as low carbon
due to the integration of recycled content.
The Leixlip campus continues to implement the electricity
purchasing strategy for 100% renewable supply, returns 88% of its
water to the River Liffey and, in 2022, sent 0.6% of its total
waste to landfill. These efforts support Intel’s corporate goals to
achieve 100% renewable electricity use across its global
operations, net positive water and zero waste to landfills by 2030;
net-zero GHG emissions across global operations by 2040; and
net-zero upstream GHG emissions by 2050.
Continuing a Proud Tradition of Community Partnership
For more than 30 years, Intel has considered the North Kildare
town of Leixlip its home in Ireland. The continued development of
the Leixlip campus is only possible through the ongoing support and
close collaboration of the local community. In conjunction with the
official opening of Fab 34, Intel announced today that it will be
donate 1 million euros to the Leixlip community to fund a community
project.
