The Applied Materials EPIC Platform is not just a framework. It’s a strategic model focused on transformative innovation and high-velocity commercialization defining how Applied collaborates across the semiconductor ecosystem.

EPIC creates a foundational network that connects chipmakers, equipment manufacturers, universities and research institutions. Traditional development cycles last many years, but the EPIC model and infrastructure will drastically reduce that time, enabling parallel development, agile handoffs and early access to next-generation processes across the ecosystem. This accelerates product roadmaps, increases commercial success rates and amplifies the return on R&D investments.
