New state-of-the-art facility strengthens Applied’s global manufacturing and R&D capabilities to drive resilience and scalability

Tampines Campus sets a new benchmark for sustainable, intelligent semiconductor equipment production

Applied Materials, Inc., the leader in materials engineering solutions for the semiconductor industry, has expanded its manufacturing and R&D operations in Singapore to support the global build-out of AI infrastructure. The new US$500 million (S$600 million) Tampines Campus more than doubles Applied’s advanced cleanroom capacity in Singapore and strengthens the company’s global manufacturing footprint, which also includes facilities in the United States, Europe, Israel and Taiwan. The new facility, already operating at volume production, is focused on serving chipmakers that are expanding production to meet increasing AI-driven demand.

Over the past several years, Applied has nearly doubled its global manufacturing capacity, including the new Tampines Campus, and the company has invested more than US$400 million in its U.S. equipment manufacturing infrastructure over the past five years. Additionally, Applied’s new US$5 billion\* EPIC Center in Silicon Valley, set to become operational this year, represents the largest-ever U.S. investment in advanced semiconductor equipment R&D.

The center is designed from the ground up to dramatically reduce the time it takes to commercialize breakthrough technologies from early-stage research to full-scale manufacturing.

\*Capital spending is expected to scale over time to approximately $5 billion as customer projects commence.
