Originally Published 2 years ago — by Mint
Applied Materials, along with its competitors, is leading the way in materials science, which is now playing a crucial role in making computers faster and more capable. As chip makers reach the limits of shrinking components on microchips, manipulating materials at the atomic level has become essential. Applied Materials invents new manufacturing processes and provides the equipment for microchip factories. With the shift towards three-dimensional chips, the complexity of manufacturing has increased, requiring expertise in depositing and etching materials. Companies like Applied Materials are crucial partners for chip makers in pushing the boundaries of what can be done with silicon-based microchips.
