Applied Materials AI(x) Platform Harnesses the Power of Big Data and AI to Accelerate Semiconductor Technology Breakthroughs from Lab to Fab - Seite 2

The AI^x platform includes:

• ChamberAI^TM: New sensors and machine learning algorithms for Applied Materials process chambers that provide engineers with real-time analytics of variables including chemistry, energy, pressure, temperature and duration.
• On-board metrology: Unique in-vacuum metrology that enables new films to be measured as they are being deposited, with angstrom-level precision.
• Inline metrology: Unique algorithms based on Applied eBeam metrology which can provide a 100-fold increase in measurement speed versus legacy approaches along with 50 percent higher resolution. Engineers can obtain over one million 3D wafer measurements per hour to make nanometer-scale assessments of how miniscule changes in recipes affect on-chip devices and structures.
• AppliedPRO^TM: Process Recipe Optimizer generates digital process maps that help accelerate materials and recipe development, reduce variability and widen process windows. AppliedPRO can be used to optimize individual chambers and tools as well as accelerate matching across a fleet of systems.
• Digital twins: The AI^x platform includes digital twin models of select Applied Materials chambers and systems that enable virtual experiments which accelerate recipe development, improve matching and ramp transfer, and optimize output and yield in high-volume production.
• Computing: The AI^x platform includes the computing resources needed to store and analyze massive data using machine learning and AI algorithms.

Applied Materials will share AI^x case studies at its 2021 Investor Meeting on April 6 and at Master Class events scheduled for May 5 and June 16, 2021.
