When people ask me: “What does Applied Materials do?” I think of one of our old tag lines: “We make the machines that make the chips* that make the products that change the world.” Our machines harness plasma physics, chemistry and lots of computing power in order to fabricate nanoscale structures in the trillions, exactly the same, time after time after time.
Many of our systems are developed at the Maydan Technology Center, located on our campus in Sunnyvale, California. Not many people, apart from the engineers and scientists who actually design and fine-tune the systems, get to see inside. Today, you’re privileged to join the select few.
Plus, you’ve probably never seen an interview where both parties are wearing bunny suits.
If you're having trouble playing the video, you can also find it here.
* I should point out that things have changed a bit since then. Nowadays, we also make the machines that make solar cells, flat panel displays and touch panels.
