 Applied Materials has broken ground on a new facility in Xi'an, China that will provide engineering and software support services on a global basis, according to the company.
"Applied Materials' Xi'an GDC center will strengthen our ability to deliver nanomanufacturing technology around the world and is another example of the leadership in China that we have demonstrated for more than 20 years," said Mike Splinter, president and CEO of Applied Materials. "We appreciate the support of the local community as we lay the foundation for a prosperous future here in Xi'an."
Applied Materials expects the new facility to speed product development cycle times by working across time zones and to perform global engineering project support. It will also
feature a global support center for continuous improvement projects for 200mm semiconductor equipment.
