The evolution of transistor and display technologies propelled by consumer demand for increased mobility presents Applied Materials with new opportunities for profitable growth. Ever-growing consumer demand for faster processors, longer battery life, and bigger and better displays is creating major device performance and yield challenges for semiconductor and display manufacturers - challenges that Applied Materials is uniquely positioned to solve.

"Semiconductor and display makers are racing to deliver the new mobile products consumers demand," said Mike Splinter, chairman and CEO. "The war for mobility leadership will be won by materials innovation that is enabled by Applied Materials."

The industry is re-engineering transistor designs, driving the need for new materials and new ways of handling those materials, as manufacturers look beyond shrinking lithography geometries to achieve performance gains.

"Our leadership in Precision Materials Engineering is what makes Applied unique and provides us with great opportunities for profitable growth," said Gary Dickerson, president of Applied Materials. "We are enabling major mobility inflections that bring more advanced features and improved battery life in next-generation mobile devices."
