Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT) has introduced two advanced chipmaking systems designed to enable atomic-scale precision in the world’s most sophisticated logic chips.
The new systems address the semiconductor industry's push to build faster and more efficient transistors amid the growth of AI infrastructure. Modern Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors at 2nm and below promise significant performance gains, but constructing their intricate 3D structures requires over 500 highly precise processing steps.
By controlling material deposition at the atomic level, Applied Materials’ platforms enable chipmakers to overcome extreme complexity while maintaining performance standards.
Following the announcement, Applied Materials’ stock traded over 7% higher in Wednesday’s premarket.
