Applied Materials AMAT

SemiconductorsMarket cap $145B12 connections

Applied Materials makes the deposition and etch equipment that deposits thin films and carves circuit patterns onto silicon wafers - essential steps in making every chip. AMAT equipment is inside every TSMC, Samsung, and Intel fab. Its materials engineering approach - controlling matter at the atomic level - is its core capability. No advanced semiconductor can be made without AMAT equipment.

Key relationships in depth

Applied Materials & TSMC

Applied Materials is one of TSMC's most critical equipment suppliers, providing deposition, etch, and chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) systems used in every advanced node from 7nm to 2nm. TSMC's capital expenditure of $35-40B annually flows substantially to Applied Materials for the tools needed to build and upgrade its leading-edge fabs.

Why it matters: Semiconductor manufacturing requires hundreds of process steps, each needing specialized equipment. Applied Materials dominates deposition and CMP equipment, holding significant market share in the tools that deposit thin films and polish wafer surfaces to atomic-level precision. No leading-edge fab can operate without Applied Materials equipment.
