Label: CRF sector (IPCC 2006): electronics industry
Definition:
The CRF sector (IPCC 2006) 'electronics industry' is an industry sector defined by the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories:
Several advanced electronics manufacturing processes utilise fluorinated compounds (FCs) for plasma etching intricate patterns, cleaning reactor chambers, and temperature control. The specific electronic industry sectors include semiconductor, thin-film-transistor flat panel display (TFT-FPD), and photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing (collectively termed ‘electronics industry’).
