Applied Materials has launched a $5 billion EPIC Center in Sunnyvale, California, with Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC joining as founding partners to accelerate semiconductor R&D and manufacturing innovation focused on advanced nodes, packaging, and memory technologies.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The US semiconductor research centre is now a strategic testing ground where new manufacturing tools get proven before mass production. You must engage this hub now if your startup depends on cutting-edge chip fabrication to avoid falling behind Asia-based fabs.
