Applied Materials Convenes Leaders from Industry, Academia and Government at “Summit to Advance Semiconductor Leadership”
22 Maio 2023 - 7:42PM
Applied Materials, Inc. today hosted the Summit to Advance
Semiconductor Leadership – an event focused on exploring solutions
for overcoming key challenges facing the semiconductor industry on
its path to becoming a $1 trillion market over the next decade. The
summit took place at the future site of Applied’s new
multibillion-dollar Equipment and Process Innovation and
Collaboration (EPIC) Center in Silicon Valley, also announced
today.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris joined other senior-level
government officials at the summit along with global industry
executives from semiconductor design, manufacturing and equipment
companies, as well as academic leaders representing top engineering
universities. A list of participating organizations may be found
below.
Discussions throughout the day were focused on three critical
topics:
- Economic Sustainability: Government funding
and incentives are a catalyst to accelerate investment in new
manufacturing capacity and research and development (R&D).
Participants discussed the key factors that can ensure these
investments are sustainable and durable over multiple generations
of technology, and how industry and government can work together to
maximize the positive long-term impact.
- National Security: Advanced semiconductors are
the foundational building blocks of modern society, underpinning
new technologies that can address the world’s most important
challenges. The summit examined how industry and government can
collaborate in new ways to advance technology that improves the
standard of living globally, while protecting national
security.
- Talent Development: The semiconductor industry
has a rich history of innovation, overcoming seemingly
insurmountable technical challenges in physics, chemistry and
materials science. With a million new semiconductor scientists and
technicians needed in the next decade, participants addressed the
need to create a vibrant and inclusive pipeline of next-generation
innovators that can help drive its growth.
“Over many decades, the chip industry has relentlessly pushed
the boundaries of science and engineering to bring to life
technologies that have improved our global economy and society,”
said Gary Dickerson, President and CEO of Applied Materials. “While
the impact of semiconductors has already been remarkable, this is
just the beginning of what’s possible. After today’s summit with
leaders from industry, academia and government, I am more excited
than ever about our collaboration opportunities and our ability to
accelerate innovations that will unleash future generations of
chips and provide a long-term sustainable advantage in how chips
are made.”
Following the summit, attendees celebrated the launch of
Applied’s new multibillion-dollar facility for collaborative
semiconductor manufacturing R&D. The EPIC Center is planned to
be the heart of a high-velocity innovation platform designed to
accelerate development and commercialization of foundational chip
materials, process and manufacturing technologies. The EPIC Center
is uniquely conceived as a hub for leading chipmakers to
collaborate with the equipment ecosystem and academic partners to
solve industry “grand challenges” related to complexity, cost,
time-to-market, sustainability and talent development.
