Applied Materials to Extend Global Leadership in Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology
20 Dezembro 2022 - 6:05PM
Applied Materials, Inc. today announced its intention to make
multi-billion-dollar investments in its innovation infrastructure
in the United States and to expand its global manufacturing
capacity between now and 2030. These investments will enhance
customer collaboration to accelerate improvements in semiconductor
performance, power and cost – and enable the company to increase
equipment manufacturing capacity as the digital transformation of
the economy creates the opportunity for a $1 trillion semiconductor
market.
“Applied Materials is the world leader in materials engineering
solutions – the foundational technologies that define how current
and future generations of chips are made,” said Gary Dickerson,
President and CEO. “With these investments, we will double our
innovation infrastructure in the United States and significantly
expand our ability to serve customers building new fabs in America
and around the world.”
At the heart of these investments, the scale of which will be
contingent upon receiving government support, Applied Materials
plans to build a next-generation R&D center in Sunnyvale,
California. This high-velocity innovation platform will be
dedicated to advancing materials engineering, foundational
semiconductor technologies and process equipment. The Silicon
Valley center will play a central role in collaborative research
and development with all the world’s major chipmakers, bolster
university partnerships, and be capable of engaging with a future
U.S. National Semiconductor Technology Center. Applied expects to
make this investment with support from the U.S. government through
provisions of the CHIPS and Science Act and the State of California
through the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development
(GO-Biz) California Competes Grant awarded earlier this year. An
event to mark the launch of this investment is planned for early
2023 in Silicon Valley.
In addition, Applied Materials intends to expand its U.S.
equipment manufacturing capacity as well as invest in new
infrastructure to both accelerate collaboration with the industry
ecosystem and develop the talented workforce needed to build
America’s strength in critical future technologies. The investment
in manufacturing capacity will expand the company’s factories in
Austin, Texas which has been the home of Applied’s
volume-manufacturing operations since 1993.
“Applied Materials has deep core capabilities in the U.S. – from
our research centers in California and New York, to our factories
in Texas and our product operations in Massachusetts and Montana,”
said Dickerson. “No other semiconductor equipment company has a
comparable footprint in the U.S., and we intend to invest boldly
and build on this world-class infrastructure to accelerate our
technology leadership and enable our customers’ growth for decades
to come.”
Applied is also investing in its global infrastructure and will
hold a groundbreaking ceremony for an expansion of its regional hub
in Singapore on December 22, which, together with the planned
expansion in the U.S., will significantly increase Applied
Materials’ capacity to serve growing worldwide demand for
semiconductors.
