𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞2𝐓𝐡𝐳 – 𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘦 (𝘐𝘯𝘗) 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘶𝘱𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 (𝘴𝘶𝘣-)𝘛𝘏𝘻 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 – is an ambitious project that will address today’s Indium Phosphide (InP) shortcomings and build a mature European ecosystem to obtain a commercially and industry-viable platform for use in various mass-market applications utilizing the higher frequency spectrum towards THz and beyond.

The Move2THz project directly supports the policy objectives of the 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 — the EU’s roadmap to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. In line with this vision, the project promotes sustainable growth and technological sovereignty by advancing resource-efficient innovation in next-generation semiconductor technologies. By developing a groundbreaking 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞-𝐨𝐧-𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 (𝐈𝐧𝐏𝐨𝐒𝐢) platform, Move2THz introduces a new era of high-frequency performance that is both environmentally responsible and commercially viable. The project reduces dependence on scarce materials, lowers the ecological footprint of manufacturing, and strengthens Europe’s circular economy by creating a fully integrated and sustainable value chain.

Green Innovation – a key objective of the Move2THz project to achieve sustainable carbon efficiency by reducing emissions throughout the entire product life cycle — from raw material sourcing to production, operation, and end-of-life recycling. This “cradle-to-grave” approach ensures that sustainability is embedded in every phase of technology development. By optimizing the InP-on-Silicon (InPoSi) manufacturing process, Move2THz lowers energy consumption, minimizes the use of rare materials, and promotes resource-efficient wafer production supported by eco-friendly supply chains within Europe. The project also aims to quantify and demonstrate measurable CO₂ reductions using 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 (𝐋𝐂𝐀) methodologies to evaluate environmental impact at each stage. These actions form the foundation for all sustainability efforts within Move2THz — ensuring that high technological performance goes hand in hand with measurable climate impact reduction and long-term environmental responsibility.

In line with these goals, Move2THz is pioneering new ways to drastically reduce the consumption of Indium Phosphide (InP) — one of the rare and resource-intensive materials in semiconductor manufacturing. Using the 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 and its innovative wafer reclaiming capability, the project enables each InP donor wafer to be reused multiple times, achieving more than a tenfold reduction in raw material usage. This breakthrough not only minimizes production waste and environmental impact but also reinforces Europe’s ability to secure a sustainable and resilient semiconductor supply for future generations of wireless technologies. Through such resource-efficient innovation, Move2THz demonstrates how advanced microelectronics can drive technological progress while respecting environmental limits and contributing to Europe’s path toward climate neutrality.

Together, these efforts illustrate how Move2THz turns the principles of the European Green Deal into tangible results — merging innovation, sustainability, and industrial excellence in a single European success story.
