On Tuesday, Shares of Applied Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMAT), lost -0.99% to $19.99.
Applied Materials, declared its Applied Endura® Cirrus(TM) HTX PVD* system with breakthrough technology for patterning copper interconnects at 10nm and beyond. As chip features continue to shrink, innovations in hardmask are required to preserve the pattern integrity of tightly packed, tiny interconnect structures. With the introduction of this technology, Applied enables scaling of the TiN* metal hardmask - the industry`s material of choice - to meet the patterning needs of copper interconnects in advanced microchips.
This breakthrough in TiN hardmask is made possible by precision materials engineering at the wafer level to produce a high density, low-stress film. Combining exceptional film thickness uniformity with low defectivity on a proven Endura platform, the Cirrus HTX system addresses the stringent high volume manufacturing needs of patterning multiple interconnect layers.
