To enable a more sustainable semiconductor industry, new fabs must be designed to maximize output while reducing energy consumption and emissions. In this blog post, I examine Applied Materials’ efforts to drive fab sustainability through the process equipment we develop for chipmakers. It all starts with an evolution in the mindset of how these systems are designed.

During Applied’s annual EarthWorks campaign, employees across the globe are encouraged to learn about and take action dedicated to environmental sustainability.

Recently I participated in an engaging panel discussion on the topic of “Driving Decarbonization in Turbulent Times and Beyond.” What was clear from the discussion is that many businesses are innovating to improve not only their footprint but those of their value chain—suppliers and customers, and that these efforts present tech companies with opportunities for innovation and differentiation.

Watch the video replay of Applied Materials CEO Gary Dickerson’s keynote at SEMICON West to hear about new initiatives Applied is driving to enable a more sustainable company, industry and world.

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.

Applied Materials employees around the world are taking to the streets, the mountains and the beaches this month in support of EarthWorks, the company’s annual campaign to inspire education and action around environmental sustainability, and ensure a cleaner and greener tomorrow.

Applied Materials is committed to hands-on, environmental education programs around the world. 

Recognized as a man who set out to change the world and to make it better, visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist, Ted Turner was awarded the 2014 James C. Morgan Global Humanitarian Award.

When imagination and technology are focused on addressing everyday problems around the globe, amazing solutions are created.  This year’s 25 Tech Award finalists have applied technology to benefit humanity with projects that include deploying drones to prevent animal poaching in developing countries, designing a machine to deliver anesthesia in medical clinics without access to compressed oxygen or continuous grid power, and creating a mobile app to promote carpooling in busy Latin American cities.
