--- title: Home description: Home --- # Chip Zero Shaping the Future of Finnish Semiconductor Industry [ Join the ecosystem ](https://www.chipzero.tech/join-the-ecosystem) ## Chip with Zero Lifetime Emissions Chip Zero  aims to create the first semiconductor ecosystem in Finland with a mission to develop chips with zero lifetime emissions. The aim is to lower the deposition emissions of semiconductor manufacturing by 50% and increase the handprint of chips by double digit percentages by 2030, thus leading to an overall zero lifetime emission.
