Applied Materials, Inc. is extending its leadership in epitaxial (epi) technology with a newly developed NMOS transistor application for its Applied Centura RP Epi system. This capability supports the industry’s move to extend epi deposition from PMOS transistors to NMOS transistors at the 20nm node, enabling chipmakers to build faster devices and deliver next-generation mobile computing power. “Epi is an essential building block for high-performance transistors, delivering a gain...
