Applied Materials

Application

SmartFactory AI Predictive MetrologyApplication

Fab software that uses machine learning to predict metrology measurement values in real time with confidence scores, reducing reliance on physical measurement and auto-retraining models when drift is detected.

SmartFactory AI Run-to-Run Advanced Recipe TuningApplication

Software that augments existing run-to-run process control with machine learning models that recommend recipe parameter adjustments for high-mix, low-volume and nonlinear processes.

SmartFactory Defect ClassificationApplication

AI-based fab software that automatically detects and classifies wafer inspection images into more than 100 defect categories, replacing manual and rule-based defect review.

Platform

AIxPlatform

Applied's Actionable Insight Accelerator platform, which combines chamber sensors, inline metrology, digital twins and machine learning algorithms to optimise semiconductor process recipes from millions of wafer and chip measurements.

SmartFactory AI IQworksPlatform

Data and model management platform that covers the full AI/ML lifecycle for fabs, from data preparation and model building through deployment and drift monitoring, without requiring coding expertise.
