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.

Hardware

Enlight 3 Optical InspectionHardware

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.

KinexHardware

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.

SEMVision H20Hardware

Cold field emission eBeam defect review system that integrates deep learning AI to automatically extract and classify yield-killing defects from wafer inspection data.

VistaraHardware

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.

Humain sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Applied Materials yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
