As I said in class… I thought I had already heard that there was a semiconductor facotry in Bromont, Quebec. Well I googled a bit and actually found out that there is more than one. I found that there’s at least two:
– Dalsa semiconductorsthat are making semiconductors wafers, with a capacity of 10,000-15,000 wafers/month.
– And IBM, which have their world largest microchip packaging facility in Bromont that produces tens of millions of chip packages per year and according to this article uses appoximately 1,500 different chemicals.
I have not found any report on the waste management of these facilities in Bromont yet. Anyone can find something???
