A materials breakthrough can take 10-15 years to reach a commercial chip, and AI demand won't wait that long. Earlier collaboration between chipmakers, equipment makers, and researchers is becoming the faster path. For Six Five Connected, @DianaBlass goes inside @Applied4Tech’s $5B EPIC Center with CEO Gary Dickerson and leaders from $AMAT to hear how they plan to accelerate semiconductor R&D through collaboration, atomic-scale innovation, and faster commercialization.
