On Wednesday, Shares of Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), lost -1.69% to $18.57.
Applied Materials, declared a next-generation etch tool, the Applied Centris(TM) Sym3(TM) Etch system, featuring an entirely new chamber for atomic-level precision manufacturing. To overcome within-chip feature variations, the Centris Sym3 system leapfrogs current tools to provide chipmakers with the control and precision needed to pattern and create densely packed 3D structures in advanced memory and logic chips.
The Centris Sym3 etch chamber employs Applied`s unique True Symmetry(TM) technology with multiple tuning controls for optimizing global process uniformity to the atomic level. Key to the design is a focus on controlling and removing etch byproducts, which are increasingly hampering within-chip patterning uniformity. The system mitigates byproduct re-deposition to overcome the challenges of line edge roughness, pattern loading and defects - issues that are becoming more limiting for each successive technology node. Combined with an advanced RF technology that controls ion energy and angular distributions, the Sym3 system delivers unsurpassed vertical profiles for high aspect ratio 3D structures.
Applied Materials, Inc. provides manufacturing equipment, services, and software to the semiconductor, flat panel display, solar photovoltaic (PV), and related industries worldwide. The company’s Silicon Systems Group segment develops, manufactures, and sells a range of manufacturing equipment used to fabricate semiconductor chips or integrated circuits.
