## Products & services

- **Deposition systems (CVD, PVD, ALD, epitaxy, electroplating)** — Machines that add ultra-thin layers of material onto silicon wafers, one atomic layer at a time.
- **Etch systems** — Tools that selectively remove material to carve the nanometer-scale features of a chip.
- **Ion implantation** — Equipment that fires ions into silicon to change its electrical properties - a step Applied has led for decades.
- **Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP)** — Systems that polish wafer surfaces flat to atomic tolerances between processing steps.
- **Metrology and inspection (PDC)** — e-beam and optical tools plus AI software that measure and inspect chips to catch defects and lift yield.
- **EPIC Platform** — A collaborative innovation and commercialization platform where chipmakers, suppliers and researchers co-develop next-generation process technology.
- **EPIC Advanced Packaging** — Program and toolset for chiplets, through-silicon vias, silicon interposers and panel-level packaging for AI systems.
- **Applied Global Services (AGS)** — Spares, upgrades, remanufactured equipment, and factory-automation and process-control software that keep fabs running at peak yield.
- **Display and Adjacent Markets equipment** — Tools for manufacturing LCD, OLED and other advanced displays, plus roll-to-roll and web-coating systems.
