VIEWPOINT 2018: Arthur Sherman, VP, Corporate Strategy & Marketing, Applied Materials
Tremendous demand for data storage has produced record shipment levels of memory chips. The logic and foundry roadmaps are being driven by the shift towards highly specialized architectures and larger chips customized for AI workloads. Advancements in computing are also taking place in the cloud and at the edge. Applications where latency and security are important, like autonomous vehicles, language processing or safety systems, data will be processed and stored at the edge. This means more logic and memory content in edge devices, where power requirements are critical. The many new semiconductor devices being designed and ramped into production bring new challenges that require fundamental innovations. Chipmakers are looking to build chips in ways not possible before. This requires new materials and new capabilities such as selective deposition and removal, and precise control at the sub-atomic level in all three dimensions. In today's highly competitive and rapidly changing market, it's important that Applied continues to focus our R&D in areas that create and enable technology inflections, and help our customers increase their speed of innovation by using our Maydan Technology Center where we offer a complete suite of manufacturing tools and the capability to test chips. We are committed to offering the technologies to help chipmakers bring their leading-edge devices to market faster.
