Applied Materials and TSMC have expanded their long-standing partnership by launching a joint innovation program at Applied Materials’ new EPIC Center in Silicon Valley to accelerate the development of next-generation chips for artificial intelligence.

The collaboration will focus on advancing process technologies for leading-edge logic chips, new materials, and manufacturing equipment for increasingly complex 3D transistor and interconnect architectures. The goal is to speed the transition from early-stage research to high-volume production, helping the semiconductor industry meet growing AI and high-performance computing demands.

Applied Materials’ EPIC (Equipment and Process Innovation and Commercialization) Center represents a planned $5 billion investment and is described by the company as the largest-ever U.S. investment in advanced semiconductor equipment research and development. As a founding partner, TSMC will gain early access to Applied’s engineering teams and next-generation tools.
