Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT) is a major provider of materials engineering solutions, equipment, services, and software for the global semiconductor and related industries. The company operates through two main segments: Semiconductor Systems, which supplies capital equipment used in key wafer fabrication steps such as etch, deposition, chemical mechanical planarization, metrology and inspection, and ion implantation; and Applied Global Services (AGS), which delivers integrated solutions-including spares, upgrades, services, and factory automation software-designed to optimize equipment and fab performance.
The company serves manufacturers of semiconductor wafers, chips, and other electronic devices across major markets including the United States, China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and incorporated in 1967, Applied Materials is classified within the Information Technology sector under the Semiconductor Materials & Equipment sub-industry, making it a key supplier to the broader chip manufacturing supply chain rather than a chip designer itself.
