Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

onsemi Achieves Validation of Near-Term Science-Based Emissions Reduction Targets
February 5, 2025 | onsemiEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved onsemi’s near-term science-based emissions reduction targets. The validation of these targets attests that the planned decrease of onsemi’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is aligned to the ambition of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5° Celsius.
With the validation by SBTi, onsemi commits to:
- reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 58.8% by 2034 from a 2022 base year
- reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from fuel- and energy-related activities 35.0% within the same timeframe
- 71.3% of its suppliers by emissions, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods and upstream transportation and distribution, will have science-based targets by 2029
“At onsemi, our industry leading intelligent power and sensing solutions for the automotive, industrial and AI data center markets, contribute directly to mitigating global warming catastrophes and creating a more sustainable future,” said Hassane El-Khoury, president and CEO, onsemi. "Achieving validation of our near-term science-based emission reduction targets by SBTi highlights our commitment to delivering the latest energy efficient semiconductor technologies in the most sustainable way.”
SBTi is a corporate climate action organization that provides a clearly defined pathway for companies to help combat the climate crisis, focusing on deep decarbonization of current business processes and decoupling business and revenue growth from future increased emissions. The approval of its near-term science-based targets provides onsemi with transparency and third-party accountability for its efforts to reduce GHG emissions, ensuring that its sustainability initiatives are both credible and measurable.
Achieving onsemi’s targets would mean a reduction of scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 58.8%, resulting in about one million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MTCO2e) fewer emissions by 2034 compared to the baseline year 2022. Similarly, the reduction of scope 3 fuel- and energy-related activities (i.e., scope 3 category 3) GHG emissions by 35.0% in the same timeframe would result in approximately 80,000 MTCO2e fewer emissions. Together, that roughly equals the amount of MTCO2e that 19,000 gas-powered passenger vehicles emit annually. To absorb this amount of MTCO2e, it would take approximately 1.3 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years.[1]
“As a company that is purpose-driven, innovative and committed to excellence, we have set ambitious climate-related targets for ourselves and our supply chain,” said Kim Luu, vice president of Sustainability & Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). “We remain focused on prioritizing sustainability at every opportunity and on continuous improvement in our decarbonization initiatives to achieve these targets.”
