Applied MaterialsIncumbent

Largest semiconductor equipment maker; actively deploys ML for process-control feedback loops in atomic-scale deposition and etch — RL is the next step in that roadmap.

Deploys ML-driven process control on nanoscale semiconductor fabrication lines; natural extension to CNN-based in-situ imaging feedback for etch and deposition steps.

Supplies deposition and etch equipment for the novel band-gap and phase-change materials (GST, HfOx) that underpin voltage-threshold synaptic devices at foundry scale
