Applied Materials
Application
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.
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.
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.
Hexagon
Application
Software for analysing and visualising industrial CT and NDT data, from reconstruction to GD&T, material analysis and simulation, with AI-based segmentation of CT data.
No-code software for training AI segmentation models on a customer's own labelled industrial CT datasets, run on-premises and applied to datasets in VGSTUDIO MAX and VGinLINE.
Automated CT inspection software for production lines: it brings VGSTUDIO MAX analysis and AI-supported segmentation to the shop floor for in-line, at-line and sample inspection with minimal manual input.

Platform
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.
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.
Hardware
Brightfield optical wafer inspection system whose third-generation ExtractAI technology pairs its scan data with SEMVision eBeam review to separate yield-killing defects from millions of nuisance signals.
Integrated die-to-wafer hybrid bonding system for HBM, AI accelerators and co-packaged optics, with an AIx-powered software suite providing predictive maintenance, die-level traceability and multi-binning.
Cold field emission eBeam defect review system that integrates deep learning AI to automatically extract and classify yield-killing defects from wafer inspection data.
Modular wafer-processing platform holding four to twelve mixed ALD, CVD, epitaxy and etch chambers, instrumented with thousands of sensors that feed Applied's AIx software for machine-learning recipe acceleration.
Hexagon sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Applied Materials yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Robot
Humanoid robot from Hexagon Robotics for manipulation, inspection and reality capture in factories and warehouses, with spatial AI, 34 degrees of freedom, a 15 kg payload and self-swapping batteries; in pilot deployments with automotive customers.
