Applied Materials is proud to announce a long-term collaboration agreement with @SKhynix to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation DRAM and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Engineers from both companies will work side-by-side at Applied’s EPIC Center in Silicon Valley to advance innovation in materials, process integration and 3D advanced packaging as memory architectures move beyond current production nodes. President and CEO Gary Dickerson shared, “Applied Materials and SK hynix share a long history of working together to improve the energy-efficient performance of advanced memory chips through innovations in materials engineering,” He added, “We are excited to have SK hynix join the EPIC Center as a founding partner, and we look forward to driving further breakthroughs together that accelerate commercialization of next-generation DRAM and HBM technologies for the AI era.” Learn more: bit.ly/4rpcuB0

We're excited to announce we are working with Micron Technology to develop next-generation DRAM, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and NAND solutions that increase the energy-efficient performance of AI systems, bringing together advanced R&D capabilities from our EPIC Center in Silicon Valley and Micron’s state-of-the-art innovation center in Boise, Idaho to strengthen the semiconductor innovation pipeline in the United States. Here’s what our CEO, Gary Dickerson, had to say: “Applied Materials and Micron have a long-standing partnership focused on driving higher performance and more energy-efficient advanced memory chips by pushing the boundaries of materials engineering and manufacturing innovation,” said Gary Dickerson, President and CEO of Applied Materials. “We are excited to deepen our collaboration with Micron as a founding partner at the EPIC Center as next-generation memory technologies play an increasingly vital role in the future of AI systems.” Learn more: bit.ly/4byPdrs

Pushing AI performance requires increasingly tighter tolerances and extreme precision. Applied's Sym3™ Z Magnum™ conductor etch system extends the proven Sym3 Z platform by bringing plasma and ion control closer to the wafer, delivering angstrom‑level etch control, improving wafer uniformity and enabling faster, more energy‑efficient chips. bit.ly/4kZMKJN

Inside every chip, there’s a tiny metal contact, or bridge, that helps electricity move between layers. As chips get smaller and AI demands more speed, these tiny contacts have become a major bottleneck. Applied Materials is enabling the next generation of contact scaling using molybdenum, a material that keeps electricity flowing faster, even at the most advanced nodes.

We are excited to announce that Samsung Electronics will join the new $5 billion Applied Materials EPIC Center in Silicon Valley. Our EPIC Center will open this year as the world’s largest and most advanced facility for collaborative semiconductor process technology and manufacturing equipment R&D. The EPIC center is designed from the ground up to dramatically reduce the time it takes to commercialize breakthrough technologies from early-stage research to full-scale manufacturing. For chipmakers, the EPIC Center will provide earlier access to our R&D portfolio, faster cycles of learning and accelerated transfer of next-generation technologies into high-volume manufacturing.
