  |  | | SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING SOFTWARE For more than 20 years, Applied Materials has been delivering industry-leading solutions for semiconductor manufacturers in two key areas: front end fabrication and backend operations. Semiconductor fabs across the globe rely on Applied Materials for process tool integration, manufacturing execution, real-time visibility to enterprise asset utilization, dynamic work flow scheduling, and all other crucial functions from the manufacturing floor to the ‘top floor.' By leveraging our industry expertise, customers commission fabs on time and on budget. Applied Materials offers a broad range of applications that address critical production operations. These applications include: Applied Materials also offers a number of solutions that solve specific manufacturing challenges that leverage the deep domain functionality of our applications. Our solutions for semiconductor manufacturing not only improve productions operations, but address broader business initiatives that drives greater performance across the enterprise. - Enterprise Asset Management – Addresses Poor equipment utilization due to unplanned downtime, excess inventory, and equipment availability
- Event Sense Decide Respond – Solves the problems caused by ‘reactive' responses Automates the monitoring of shop floor events and responses.
- Perfect Order Fulfillment – Eliminates problems such as high WIP buffer inventory and low on-time delivery caused by the lack of visibility and response to supply chain events.
- Design for Manufacturing Reticle Optimization – Helps achieve optimum throughput by ensuring availability of reticles. Ensures faster order-to-delivery time for masks and ensures availability of reticles as lithography drives factory throughput.
- Design for Manufacturing Process Optimization - Provides higher quality and yield by eliminating poor process control and low tool optimization caused by shrinking die geometries.
- WIP Throughput Optimization – Optimizes AMHS resources to reduce cycle times and increase throughput in highly automated fabs.
