<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In February 2023, Gigaphoton installed 1,100 photovoltaic panels on the roof of its head office building and is scheduled to begin power generation in May. The installed solar panels are expected to generate approximately 460MWh per year (equivalent to approximately 4% of the annual power consumed by Gigaphoton), which is equivalent to approximately 210t-CO2 <sup>*1</sup> in terms of CO2 emissions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gigaphoton also designed the new production building, that is currently under construction (scheduled for completion in late 2023), with the installation of solar panels to increase the ratio of renewable energy used. Gigaphoton aims to be carbon neutral by virtually eliminating its own GHG emissions in 2030. One of the efforts toward carbon neutrality is the aim of achieving a 30% use ratio of renewable energy in 2030. To achieve this goal, Gigaphoton will promote energy creation, including installation of solar panels, in parallel with power saving in production processes and other areas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Katsumi Uranaka, President and CEO of Gigaphoton said, &#8220;Based on our sustainability policy, Gigaphoton will further accelerate the reduction of power consumption during product operation, while actively working to reduce GHG generated during production by reducing power consumption during production and utilizing renewable energy.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">토치기현 오야마시; 2022년 2월 16일 &#8211; 반도체 리소그래피 광원의 주요 제조업체인&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gigaphoton.com/kr/">기가포톤 주식회사(</a>본사: 토치기현 오야마시, 대표이사 사장: 우라나카 카츠미)는 가공 용도용 KrF 엑시머 레이저 ‘G300K’가 대만의 국가 실험 연구원의 프로젝트에 채택되어 12/27, 국립 성공 대학에 납품했다고 발표했습니다.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">대만의 국가 실험 연구원(NARLabos)의 참여 기관인 국립 성공 대학에서는 국가 프로젝트로 엑시머 레이저를 사용한 IC 패키징 기술에 관한 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 이번 채택은 미세 어블레이션을 비롯한 ‘가공의 최적화’를 콘셉트로 개발된 기가포톤의 KrF 레이저 ‘G300K’가 이 연구에 최적이라고 판단하여 실현되었습니다.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">기가포톤 대표이사 사장 겸 CEO 우라나카 카츠미 씨는 이렇게 말하고 있습니다. ‘반도체 리소그래피 이외의 분야에서 전개되는 GIGANEX 시리즈의 G300K는 기가포톤이 오랜 기간 쌓은 99% 이상의 고가동률, 고출력을 실현하고 있는 리소그래피용 광원 기술을 기반으로 개발하고 있으며, 이번 프로젝트에 공헌할 것으로 확신하고 있습니다. 폭넓은 고객에게 솔루션을 제공할 수 있는 GIGANEX 시리즈가 앞으로도 새로운 애플리케이션에 적용되어 차세대 산업계 발전에 공헌할 것을 기대하고 있습니다.’</p>
