Our Materials Intelligence™ platform represents the convergence of materials science and AI, which we use to revolutionize material discovery and increase yield and quality in our customers’ high-volume manufacturing. By utilizing our intelligence, in partnership with our customers and partners’ data, we are able to create a synergizing cycle.
We are in the New Era of Materials Science
Our broad portfolio and competence in AI and data analytics across the company is vertically integrated from the lab to the fab and back again. We leverage this ecosystem approach to co-optimize with customers.
Driving innovation
With today’s complex challenges in the semiconductor industry, we must transform the way we think about innovation. In the new era of Materials Science, innovation is determined by the ability to create more intelligence within the material itself. To develop material-related innovations, we leverage the perfect combination of three disciplines: Materials, Processes/Tools, and Process Controls.
How the platform works
Our Materials Intelligence™ platform unlocks next level computing and the future of electronics by combining expertise in materials, processes, and controls. This is our approach in the new era of Material Science.
We are solving the toughest industry challenges through an AI-driven horizontal and vertical integration strategy, powered by our broad, holistic portfolio. By leveraging our expertise in chemistry, physics, and knowledge from different domain areas combined with internal and customer provided data - we proactively resolve quality issues and accelerate time to market.
Our Materials Intelligence™ platform is built on a synergizing cycle
We use a wide portfolio of integrated AI tools to deliver maximum synergy by leveraging our global enterprise and customer-provided data pools.
From Lab-to-Fab and Back Again
Our circular synergy leads to better customer-specific solutions, enabling the creation of more powerful, efficient, and compact electronic devices produced with high manufacturing yields, propelling the digital evolution of the electronics industry.
Lab-to-Fab
In the Lab, we discover more and faster with the Materials Intelligence™ platform as we revolutionize material discovery with AI. We simulate atomic interactions to enhance material design, predict material properties for optimized performance, and uncover optimal configurations for new materials and processes. By leveraging multiple AI tools, we are able to process billions of data points, leveraging our global enterprise and customer data pools to generate deeper insights that significantly accelerate the innovation cycle.
The early integration of customer data significantly boosts AI's capabilities, allowing for the identification of new solutions and improving supply accuracy. Our Intermolecular® platform enriches our datasets with device-level information, keeping us closely connected to our customers' needs. Integrating customer data also helps us refine product quality and improve supply.
Fab-to-Lab
In the Fab, we are optimizing the dynamics between materials, processes, and control holistically, enabling faster tech node realization from material discovery to ramp-up, and maximizing yield response to materials and processes. We are reducing our risk of excursions through minimizing quality risks and enhancing defense lines beyond industrial gold standards.
Our deep focus on sustainability ensures that the advancements we make and the materials we develop contribute to more sustainable manufacturing processes.
When we do this at speed and scale, we unlock compact, more powerful, more efficient electronic devices at high manufacturing yields - which propels the Industry. We are continuously enhancing our Materials Intelligence™ platform by integrating more advanced AI algorithms and expanding our materials database.
