2020 will be remembered most for the challenges of COVID-19. In the world of technology, it will be remembered for accelerating digital transformations that would have taken many more years to play out. Entering 2021, the dependency between the global economy and semiconductors is greater than it’s ever been. At the same time, the way chips are being made is changing as traditional Moore’s Law scaling slows. Applied Materials is dedicated to driving new ways to help our customers continue to deliver improvements in chip power, performance and cost, in record time.
Selective processing is increasingly being used to create, shape and modify materials and features in semiconductor manufacturing. In this blog I explain what selective processing is and why it’s critically important to the future of chip scaling.
Three of Applied Ventures’ investment companies are working tirelessly using materials engineering and imaging capabilities to develop innovations that can help the medical community detect, treat, curtail—and ultimately suppress—this viral pandemic.
This year, Applied Materials employees are going virtual in support of EarthWorks, the company’s annual campaign to inspire education and action around environmental sustainability and ensure a cleaner and greener tomorrow.
In the regions where we work and live, we are addressing immediate humanitarian needs while working with key strategic partners to combat the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on local communities and the nonprofit sector.
Our latest in a series of blogs inspired by Applied Materials’ panel discussion at IEDM explores where and how data should be processed and stored to drive computing efficiency while curbing energy consumption.
