As traditional Moore’s Law scaling slows, the industry needs new ways to increase chip performance, and increasing chip performance while lowering power consumption is a growing challenge. Innovations like our Integrated Materials Solutions combine multiple processes with customized metrology and sensors in a single system to help our customers create faster, more efficient chips.

As the industry moves to smaller process nodes, the amount of physical space available on a chip to pull transistors closer together is disappearing. Applied has a suite of materials and materials-shaping solutions that enable creative ways to simultaneously and cost effectively scale area and cost while improving power and performance.

Time to market is critically important in the semiconductor industry. Getting new chip designs to market faster benefits the entire technology ecosystem and can be worth billions of dollars to our customers. Our investments in state-of-the-art digital infrastructure bring together sensors, metrology, data science, machine learning and simulation to help us shorten product development cycles; speed up transfer of new technologies from lab to fab; and optimize cost, output and yield for our customers in volume production.

PPACt advancements are critical to the chip industry’s future and with our innovative and unique materials engineering solutions, Applied is the PPACt Enablement Company.
