Do you know what materials engineering is and why it’s so important? Watch a conversation between two Applied colleagues as they break it down in an easy-to-understand way.
The beauty of a semiconductor is that it can both conduct electricity like metal and do the opposite like an insulator. A semiconductor can change conductivity based on the application. Silicon is the most common material in our industry, and with manipulation it makes a great semiconductor.
Materials Engineering studies the science of the properties, structure and processes of materials. Engineering the composition of materials by creating, shaping, modifying, analyzing and even removing properties is the basis for the amazing capabilities of electronics you use every day.
Applied enables innovation through our materials engineering solutions. Our equipment helps our customers manufacture semiconductor chips. These semiconductor chips are the brains of devices we use every day—the VR headset you use for gaming, the smart watch that tracks your heart rate, and the cell phone are all enabled by our materials engineering solutions.
