Applied Materials, Inc. develops, manufactures, markets and services semiconductor wafer fabrication equipment and related spare parts for the worldwide semiconductor industry. Many of Applied's products are single-wafer systems designed with two or more process chambers attached to a base platform. The platform feeds a wafer to each chamber, allowing the simultaneous processing of several wafers to enable high manufacturing productivity and precise control of the process. Applied has five major single-wafer, multi-chamber platforms: the Precision 5000, the Centura, the Endura, the Endura SL and the Producer. These platforms currently support chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, etch and rapid thermal
